WATCH: Justin Bieber Clearly Wanted to Throw Down During a Pickup Hockey Game

Justin Bieber played in a pickup hockey game at the LA Kings practice facility, and after an opponent broke his stick, appeared very much ready to fight.

In the video below via TMZ Sports, you can see Bieber (No. 23 in the black jersey) skating in towards the goal, when an opponent takes a stab at the puck and comes down on the Biebs’ stick, snapping it in two.

Bieber was not happy. He checked the offending player into the boards and then followed him around the ice and stared him down for nearly 30 seconds, before a referee shoved him away.

But Bieber wasn’t through mixing it up. He then skated to the opposing goalie, and they exchanged words. There was some cursing between the two sides, but things didn’t escalate from there.

Watch the almost-fight above, via TMZ Sports.
