I started playing hockey this summer after being away from the game for years. Used to be a goalie as a kid, playing D right now.

Anyway, last night I got into a situation, not even sure how it started. The long and short of it is this guy punched me in the face about 4-6 times and the next thing I knew I had cracked my stick over his head. I didnt even know i had done it until after. I just snapped, totally lost it. I'm not a violent person, but will stand up for myself or a team mate. I keep playing it over in my mind, I think maybe it's because he was wearing a full cage, there was no sense puching him, wasted effort. I do not wear a cage or visor so I took his punches full on. Maybe it's just inexperience?

Any players out there ever lost it with out even realizing until it's over? What the f$%k makes a person do this? I'm surprised at myself. Looks like I'm out for 5 games unless I can appeal.
