What started as a joke over a high schoolish jersey number ended up completely destroying an adult hockey team in Chicago. The wild feud has sent shockwaves through the local recreational hockey community after petty locker room pranks turned into full-blown extortion.

It all started when twenty-two-year-old rookie Kevin Chen joined his new rec team for the winter season. When ordering his custom jersey, he selected number 69—a classic, albeit childish, favorite among amateur skaters. But when he walked into the locker room for game one, the team's veteran assistant captain put his foot down.

The self-appointed locker room enforcer told the rookie that number 69 was off-limits unless he paid a three-hundred-dollar 'number fee' in cash straight into the team's beer fund. When the rookie pointed out that he had already paid for his own jersey and refused to hand over money, the veteran declared war.

What followed was a weeks-long campaign of relentless psychological and physical sabotage. The rookie found his heavy hockey bag thrown into running shower stalls, his ice time slashed on game nights, and his custom gear hidden up in the rink's ceiling rafters.

The conflict hit a breaking point when the rookie opened his locker before a huge match to find his nine-hundred-dollar skates submerged in water and frozen solid inside a block of ice in the rink's commercial freezer.

A furious parking lot showdown followed after the game, culminating in a wild scuffle in front of dozens of tailgating players that required arena security to break up.

Hockey fans online are fiercely divided over who was in the right. One commenter said, veterans who think they own a recreational locker room are completely delusional and should be charged with property destruction. Another argued, the rookie should have known better than to pick a joke number without asking the locker room leadership first.

The arena ultimately banned the veteran player permanently, and the team completely dissolved before the end of the month.

The hosts dig deep into this outrageous locker room turf war on the latest episode of Sin Bin.
