Back in June, we brought you the story of a youth hockey coach in Canada who purposely tripped a 13-year-old kid during the traditional post-game handshake line. A YouTube clip of the incident quickly went viral online; the original video since been removed but you can watch the shocking moment for yourself in the clip embedded above.
Now there's an update to the story: The coach, Martin Tremblay, has been sentenced to 15 days in jail, according to an Associated Press report. Tremblay reportedly tripped the kid after his team had beat the victim's squad, and the boy broke his wrist in the tumble.

But jail time is just the beginning of the problems Tremblay's trip triggered. Tremblay's lawyer said in court that the coach's construction business lost contracts as a result of the incident and that it destroyed his marriage as well, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.
Do you think 15 days in jail is fair punishment for Tremblay's crime? Give us your take in the comments.
