OHL goalie pulls himself after giving up eight goals, quits team (VIDEO)

During an eventful Game 3 of the Windsor Spitfires' playoff series against the London Knights — which also included London goalie Anthony Stolarz slashing Windsor's Josh Ho-Sang in the back of the head — a blowout led to a walkout. 

The onslaught of goals scored got so bad that Stolarz's opposing goalie, Dalen Kuchmey, pulled himself from the game.

Kuchmey was pressed into duty because his fellow goalie Alex Fotinos was not feeling well at all. Eight goals and 34 minutes later, Kuchmey was still in the game and his coach Bob Boughner didn't have much design on pulling him. So he just left the ice.




Not only did Kuchmey leave the ice, he went straight to the dressing room, changed and left the team.

The goalie said he's not going to play another game for Windsor. And he's right.


After leaving the ice and quitting on his team, as Boughner put it, the Spitfires likely wouldn't have him back anyway. Question is if any other team will have him now.


Kuchmey faced 26 shots on the night and stopped only 18 of them, clearly not his or Windsor's night. Fotinos stopped 11 of 13 shots in the final 25:34 but the game was more than out of hand at that point.

OHL goalie tomahawks opponent in back of head with stick (VIDEO)

Everyone knows goalies are pretty territorial when it comes to their nets but that didn't excuse one OHL net-minder from going all Vladimir Putin on an opponent the way Flyers prospect Anthony Stolarz did on Tuesday.

Stolarz, guarding the nets for the London Knight drew a two-minute high-sticking penalty when he swung his oversized tomahawk and hit Windsor Spitfires forward and 2014 top draft prospect Josh Ho-Sang in the back of the head. While he was skating away from the goalie.



After Ho-Sang fell to the ice and was being attended to, Stolarz looked a bit annoyed at Ho-Sang being down. The chippy Stolarz should be thankful he only got two minutes.




This was Game 3 of their playoff series in the OHL and London had little problem with Windsor, winning the game 10-2. One of those two goals came from Ho-Sang.
