&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;You remember the case of the minor-league hockey coach receiving world-wide attention for his actions/antics in the postgame handshake line?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;If you don’t, a quick refresher case is in order. The venue was in Vancouver, Canada, in June, and the age group of the hockey-playing kids was 11 to 13.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Video posted shows UBC Hornets Coach Martin Tremblay going through the line and appearing to stick out his foot, which caused two players from the opposing team, Richmond, to hit the ice.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Media reports said one of the players suffered a broken wrist, requiring several weeks in a cast.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The actions of&amp;nbsp; a losing coach? Hardly. Tremblay’s team, in fact, had won the playoff game.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Now,&amp;nbsp; months later, the other skate has dropped. Tremblay is facing two charges of assault, according to Vancouver’s CTV, and his next scheduled court date is Sept. 13.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;span class=”relatedHeadline-link”&amp;gt; &amp;lt;a href=”http://my.nohib.com./sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-polls-20120904,0,221992.story”&amp;gt;USC’s fall (and rise!) in the college football rankings&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://my.nohib.com./sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-ncaa-looking-into-mcknight-allegations20120904,0,2395852.story”&amp;gt;USC football: NCAA looking into McKnight, Jefferson allegations&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”http://my.nohib.com./sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-maurice-jones-drew-mike-wallace-poll-20120904,0,1739258.story”&amp;gt;Should Maurice Jones-Drew and Mike Wallace start this week?
