Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's junior hockey team put its own twist on the post-game celebration after securing a recent playoff series win in the KHL's Under-20 league.

But the team's way of marking the victory wasn't just rare and entertaining, it also appeared to take a lot of effort and, quite obviously, some planning.

The players gathered in a line at centre ice and waited as one player charged from the front, then fell one-by-one, creating a human domino effect.


In fairness to the players, they did partake in the customary handshake and waited for the their less jubilant opponents to clear out before getting down to business.
