The Spengler Cup treats fans to exciting hockey during the holiday season, featuring NHL veterans in the latter stages of their careers.
In a surprising twist during this year's tournament, Tomas Jurco, a player with 200 NHL games under his belt with the Red Wings, Blackhawks, Oilers, and Golden Knights, found himself at the center of a disturbing incident involving physical aggression from his head coach.
Having played for teams like the Red Wings, Blackhawks, Oilers, and Golden Knights in the NHL, Jurco now plays in the KHL while representing Slovakia in the Spengler Cup.
In a heated moment on the ice, Josh Holden, Jurco's head coach, crossed the line by forcefully grabbing the veteran player, sparking concerns about potential abuse within the team.
The shocking episode has added an unexpected layer of drama to this year's Spengler Cup, and Jurco is now going viral for the wrong reasons.
