(AP) (The following is a homemade video from tonight's home game between the Dunnville Mudcats and Habs27.)

<A shaky camera shot shows a red faced, angry and clearly intoxicated Paul Roedb shouting abuse towards the referee from the team's executive box with the Mudcats trailing 1-5 early in the third period. Assistant Lisa Kim is standing next to Roedb, an awkward, embarrassed look clearly written on her face as the foul language can be clearly heard despite the low quality recording. The camera then pans down to the seating area directly below the box and shows a woman holding her hands over her young son's ears, her head tilted upwards yelling towards Roedb to cease the cursing. The camera then pans back up towards the team box and shows the Mudcat's boss leaning further out, his head now turned downwards and his fist shaking as a string of profanities is directed at the woman and child. Suddenly Roedb appears to lose his balance and begins to slide forwards out the window of his seating area. He momentarily catches himself before losing his grip and then falling the approximately 15 meters before striking his neck and back awkwardly against the backings of a row of seats. Arena security quickly moves into the area and pulls the team President out of the seating section, apparently fearing attacks on the team's highly disliked GM.>

Note - Roedb was taken to a local hospital for observation and was later released.
