Boston Blotter: Puck You

pucks.jpgIt's rare when we dare to merge sports with the blotter because Matt Taibbi at the Phoenix has that department covered.

But a high-school hockey game between Amesbury and Newburyport got ugly when Amesbury fans threw golf balls and squid onto the Newburyport ice. What were these teens thinking? And who found the squid? Real squid? The Globe writes that the Amesbury kids found enough stuff for a "deluge" that "lasted 5 to 10 minutes."

Other teenagers messed around with something stronger than squid when they broke into a building and started smoking weed inside. It's as if they were begging the police to smell their "freshly burnt marijuana."

Now the bad news. A 15-year-old was shot and killed in Fall River. One of the suspects arrested is 27 years old. We've gotta ask, didn't anyone find it odd to see a 15-year-old with a 27-year-old?

The Cornell folks throw squid, tuna, and other associated fishery items on the ice when Harvard is in Ithaca for hockey...so it's not unprecedented.
