Martin Tremblay, the minor hockey coach who tripped two players on the opposing team during post-game handshakes following a spring-league game at UBC last June, has been sentenced to 15 days in jail.

Video of the incident went viral and has been viewed more than two million times.

Following the incident, Tremblay was charged with assault and pleaded guilty in provincial court in Richmond in November.

The 48-year-old stormed through the post-game handshake, sticking his right foot out and tripping a pair of players on the Richmond Steel. One of the players suffered a wrist injury.

Tremblay was also caught on video flipping his middle finger at the fans in attendance at the game.

He has been suspended from coaching by the Vancouver Minor Hockey Association.

I'll bet those kids fathers would like to get a hold of that guy. I hope the parents of the boy who got injured sue him for a bundle.
