Hockey coach strips half naked, throws clothes during bench tirade

Colorado Eagles assistant coach Greg Pankewicz‘s bio indicates he was hired in 2009 after retiring as the team's captain. Along with being the franchise's leading goal-scorer as a player, he also had brief stints with the NHL's Ottawa Senators and Calgary Flames. Pankewicz's bio says nothing about having been a Chippendale's dancer or rented out for bachelorette parties; but after witnessing his behavior in a CHL game against the Mississippi River Kings on Saturday night, we have our suspicions. In the third period, one of the Eagles was roughed up by a linesman during an escalating brawl on the ice. Pankewicz was enraged by the official's behavior, and began vehemently arguing from the Colorado bench: yelling, screaming, tossing things on the ice. Then, as a last resort, Pankewicz did something we can't recall ever seeing a coach do while arguing with an official: He hurled his tie, his shirt and his undershirt in frustration, before being sent to the dressing room shirtless.
