CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. - Russia's unruly junior hockey team has been booted off a flight at the Buffalo airport while trying to get home after beating Canada to win gold at the world junior hockey championship.
Airport spokesman C. Douglas Hartmayer says all 32 or so members of the Russian contingent were asked to get off a Delta flight headed to Atlanta after boarding for takeoff early Thursday morning.
Hartmayer says the group then left the terminal but didn't know where they went.
Tournament officials had no immediate comment. A call to a Delta spokeswoman wasn't immediately returned.
Russia overcame a three-goal deficit in the third period to stun Canada 5-3 in the gold-medal game Wednesday night.
