Ameture hockey player assaults Ref, gets arrested... Released on $80 bond.

So my buddy DiMo plays in a completely ameture hockey league in Greenwich Conn. He's a 45-year old father of 3 who makes multiple millions of dollars a year and he is by no means a tough guy.

"After a slashing penalty was called against a hockey player during a game at the rink late last night, referee Peter Tarantino of Cos Cob said he was punched in the face two times by a scrappy Norwalk player. Hockey player Martin Durkaj, 31, of 116 Rowayton Woods Road, Norwalk, was charged with second-degree breach of peace and criminal attempt at third-degree assault."
.
The funniest thing, to me at least, was this: "He was released on $80 bond."
