While his NHL team is in the middle of a bitter battle with the Edmonton Oilers, LA Kings prospect Brandt Clarke is absolutely tearing it up in the Ontario Hockey League with the Barrie Colts. After playing nine games with the Kings earlier this season, Clarke was sent back to juniors to continue his development. There doesn't seem to be any issue there, as he put up 23 goals and 61 points in 31 games with the Colts. Now, his team is in the playoffs and taking on the North Bay Battalion. During one of those games over the weekend, Clarke showed some attitude as he became fed up with some fans who were chirping him.

It's not clear in the video exactly what's being said on either side, but at one point, Clarke decides to climb the boards to get a better view of the the fans that are chirping him. His mouth is also going a mile a minute. After sitting down, he stands up and starts in again, seemingly more angry now than he was when he climbed the boards. Clarke eventually turned his back on the fans and started paying attention to the game again.
Clarke was drafted 8th overall in 2021. In his nine games with the Kings at the start of the season, he put up 2 assists.
