Russian Gold Medal Hockey Team Kicked Off New York Flight

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. -- An unruly Team Russia has been booted from a flight at the Buffalo airport while trying to get home after winning the gold at the World Junior Hockey Championships.

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.
