The "ice battle" between Soyuz and Mordovia ended in physical violence

      The match between the junior hockey teams Soyuz (Kirov) and Mordovia ended in a mass brawl right on the ice. The audience, who watched the outcome of the meeting, said that after the referee's final whistle, the hockey players lined up for a traditional handshake. One of the athletes of "Mordovia" hit a player of the Kirov team "Soyuz", and then knocked him to the ice. A mass brawl ensued.
