The incident happened during a tournament for various competitive club teams on Saturday at the Ice Ranch in Littleton. Denver7 has chosen not to identify the specific teams involved."My wife and I, we were upstairs at the Ice Ranch and watching him, just in shock," Mickey said."I saw the few kicks, I saw the tackle. And then I, you know, threw my barstool to the side and started running down the stairs to see what was happening.
Xander looked up and saw the opposing player fighting Xander's teammates in the corner, according to the report.Authorities also spoke with the juvenile hockey player accused of the assault. According to the report, he told Littleton police he tried to skate away but couldn't because Xander was holding his leg. He said he kicked him, but Xander wouldn't let go, so he kicked him again. The juvenile told authorities Xander was still holding on, so he kicked a third time.
Both Xander and the accused player told authorities no major issues occurred during the game prior to the incident. When the investigator pressed the accused player on what prompted his alleged behavior, the player said he was"pissed off" about"sh— talking." "You're wearing two extremely sharp knives. And it has happened in the NHL — necks have been sliced open. Kicking anywhere near the head or anywhere on the body, as you see it with young kids, you quickly stop that. You know, when they're five, six, they don't know any better. When they're 13, 14, they know that it's the end of their career. If they do that. They know they're never playing again. You know, because it's just too dangerous. You can kill somebody.
