As the players were interacting and celebrating with fans, Tyler Matzek was also in his victory mood. But a police officer thought Matzek was a random fan dressed up as Matzek. The officer roughly pulled Tyler to the side, leaving him stunned. Tyler then had to convince the officer that he was, in fact, Matzek himself and not someone just wearing his jersey.

It looked like Tyler Matzek even had to reveal his ID, and only then did the officer spare him.
