Goalie ticked for lewdness after mooning fans

Associated Press

NORTH LOGAN, Utah -- A University of Southern California hockey goalie put on a show, but it had nothing to do with stopping shots.

Mickey Meyer rode his stick like a horse, dropped his bulky pants, mooned the crowd and slapped his buttocks during a game against Brigham Young University, police said.

He was ejected and ticketed for lewdness, a misdemeanor, after an officer who was working security at the rink said he witnessed the scene Saturday.

"I had my fill of these refs," Meyer said on an Internet broadcast of the game, according to The Herald-Journal of Logan.

Meyer's antics occurred while play was stopped and referees were trying to sort out penalties in the third period of a consolation game in the ACHA West Regional tournament at Eccles Ice Center.

The junior from Clinton, N.Y., was "riding his hockey stick like a horse and slapping his butt," North Park Officer Mike Stauffer said in a report.

After pulling down his pants, Meyer slapped his bare bottom several times, Stauffer said.

I've been told "wholesome family values" still mean something in Utah. I guess we can assume he "failed to understand the operational environment". :munchin Peregrino

"I had my fill of these refs," Meyer said on an Internet broadcast of the game, according to The Herald-Journal of Logan. i used to work for an engineering company in Logan UT...it would be a stretch to say that there is more than one or two senses of humor there...

Wasn't there of course, but with that type of behavior because the refs did something he didn't like, I'd bet he "showed his ass" so to speak (pun intended) to the officer as well. He may very well have talked himself into a ticket. I've had many an idiot do the same, get out with them for something minor that probably would have gotten a verbal warning, but due to piss poor attitude and the beauty of officer discretion folks talked their way into a tickets or a trip to the city hotel. LOL always be polite to the guy with the badge and gun we typically win arguments!
