An ice hockey game in Sweden was delayed several times after rowdy fans littered the ice with sex toys.
The incident occurred at the game between Swedish league rivals AIK and Leksand. Fans of Stockholm side AIK bought the offending items to the game and hurled them onto the playing area causing the start of the match to be delayed while arena staff cleared the ice.
Dildo downpour
The dildo downpour was designed to taunt Jan Huokko, a former AIK player who now plays for Leksand. In June 2008, a video clip of Huokko and his girlfriend having sex appeared on the Internet after the 34-year-old defenceman’s mobile phone was stolen.
The website for AIK’s unofficial supporter group told fans to bring sex toys to the match to remind Huokko of the sex scandal. The fans compounded Huokko’s humiliation by unfurling a banner that read “Bend Over Bitch” that was accompanied by a giant inflatable penis. Vulgar chants directed at Huokko continued throughout the match, which Leksand lost 3-2.
Swedish paper The Local reported that the AIK organisation knew about the fans' plan but decided not to intervene. AIK club representative Mats Hedenstrom explained the club felt things would have been even worse if fans were told they could not bring sex toys into the arena.
Despite the severity of the attempts to put him off his game, The Local reports that Huokko took the fans’ actions in his stride, insisting that the taunting didn’t bother him and that he had nothing to be ashamed of.
