Real mature, guys. Real mature. Let a sport make you result to violence, because it matters that much. So stupid.

Check out this video of some Flyers fans attacking Rangers fans at a Philly cheesesteak joint in Philly.

Violence is never the answer, especially if it has to do with a sports game — there are way more important things going on in the world than to get worked up over hockey. Let's get real, here.

Oh, and did we mention that one of the victims was an off-duty Woodbridge, N.J., police officer?

Good luck with that, attackers!

We know hockey can be a brutal sport on the ice, but during a singer's performance of a national anthem too? That's just a little bit unnecessary if you ask us.

Grammy-nominated singer Melanie Fiona sang the Canadian National Anthem before the start of the 2012 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia and she got BOOED!

Ugh! So disrespectful!

Rightfully so, Melanie was not pleased by the hockey fans' reaction to her performance and tweeted:

"…For those who disrespected the Canadian anthem, remember, its a Canadian sport with Canadian players. Sad at the ignorance."

We totally agree! Plus, it's just rude to interrupt an artist's performance like that!

At least the majority of spectators gave her a nice round of applause at the end, but the negative nancies were still heard loud and clear! Check out her performance above!

A medical examiner has confirmed that the death of New York Ranger’s Derek Boogaard was an accident.

Derek was 28 when he was found dead in his apartment last Friday, five months after he had to cut his season short after a severe concussion.

He died due to mixing alcohol and oxycodone.

Derek was a tremendously well-respected hockey player, and we are sad to not have him with us anymore.

Send love to his family!

New York Ranger's forward Sean Avery supports same-sex marriage, do you?

The hockey player is the first New York celebrity athlete to support the Human Rights Campaign and the New Yorker's For Marriage Equality initiative with a video on behalf of the cause.

Sean says he treats everyone the way he expects to be treated and "that applies to marriage".

In a recent interview, he shared why he chose to take part in the campaign, saying:

“The places I’ve played and lived the longest have been in West Hollywood, Calif., when I played for the L.A. Kings, and when I moved to New York, I lived in Chelsea for the first four years. I certainly have been surrounded by the gay community. And living in New York and when you live in L.A., you certainly have a lot of gay friends.”

Thanks for not only supporting your friends, but an entire community of individuals who just want to be treated as equals.

Check out Sean's public service announcement above and join him in supporting marriage equality!
