Junior hockey player clotheslines himself with his own stick image

Look, ice skating is hard enough and I respect all hockey players for their coordination, athleticism and toughness. They play a sport as they're gliding around, a situation in which I'd mostly use the boards as my primary method of braking.

Then again, every so often a player forgets how to organize all his limbs in the right manner and you find out why hockey can be so dangerous hilarious.

That's Mitchell Skiba of the Alpena Flyers, whose coordination went missing for a moment when he tried to exit the ice during a recent game.

My favorite thing about the video is that Skiba made an immediate decision to just leave his stick on the ice and make like a scalded cat for the locker room.

Sort of a different Skiba than the one we saw laying out dudes by flipping them over not too long ago.
