Members of a championship-winning Russian junior ice hockey team were kicked off their flight overnight for being too drunk.
The team was representing Russia in the World Junior Hockey Championships, which was hosted in Buffalo. On Wednesday night, Team Russia won the Gold Medal game by upsetting Team Canada, 5 - 3.
The after-game celebrations may have been a bit too much, as police say players were thrown off a Delta flight scheduled to leave Buffalo-Niagara International Airport, because members of the team were intoxicated.
Our sister station WGRZ in Buffalo says team members were seen sitting in the baggage claim area after their flight took off. The team is now sobering up at a Days Hotel, while they make new flight arrangements on Friday.
The World Junior Hockey Championship is an annual tournament held for national under-20 ice hockey teams from around the world.
