This incident occurred on Sunday in Winnipeg. A ref rushed in to break up a fight in a youth hockey game, suplexed one of the players, and broke his wrist. The language in the video is NSFW. Per the National Post, local police are investigating whether to press charges:

"“My understanding is this game included a lot of rough play,” said Winnipeg police Const. Jason Michalyshen. “Officials were required to make a lot of different calls with respect to the conduct of players. It does appear emotions were running very high.”"

The player’s coach, Stepahnie Tardiff, says that the referee should have been able to separate the players “easily” with proper technique.
