Senior League Hockey Fight in Hingham Turns Ugly

Editor's note: The following report contains sensitive content.

A senior league hockey fight at Hingham’s last week, ended with one player defecating in another player’s glove.

Rob Taylor, a manager at the Pilgrim Skating Arena Manager said there is no hard evidence that the incident is true and said the story could be a hoax.

According to a story posted on Deadspin.com, Zung Nguyen, a 37-year-old defenseman for a Boston-area men's hockey team was kicked out of  a local men’s league  for leaving feces in an opponent’s glove. Nguyen was involved in a NESHL game between Rogue Squadron and the Young Guns when he got into a scuffle with an opposing player.

Fighting is not allowed in the league and both players received unsportsmanlike conduct majors and game misconducts, and were ejected. As they skated back to their respective locker rooms, Nguyen hurled one of his oponent's gloves over the glass into an empty section of seats and later went over to it and squatted down and soiled it.

Nguyen, who had never even accumulated a penalty minute in the past, was banned from the league.

Deadspin.com reported the following incidents lead  to the obscene incident:

•  The puck ended up trapped against the boards in the Young Guns' zone.
•  Rogue Squadron defenseman Zung Nguyen had it pinned, with Young Guns' d-man Dave Bermingham trying to poke it free.
• Nguyen gave Bermingham (age 41) a few pokes to the ribs with the butt of his stick,  and the gloves came off.
• Players on both sides say Bermingham won the fight clearly.
• Nguyen hurled one of Bermingham's gloves over the glass into an empty section of seats.
• Just after the second period began, Nguyen emerged from his locker room and went into the seats near where he had thrown Bermingham's glove.
• He went down to the corner of the arena,. Young Guns players on the bench saw him squatting there. He then returned the glove to its original spot in the seats.
• Bermingham found  feces in the glove. He showed the referee and Nguyen was banned from the league for life.
