Hockey is a great sport but it’s a Hell of a lot better when there is a good fight.
Last week out hometown Knoxville Ice Bears set a league record in penalty minutes when a massive brawl cleared out the benches and resulted in a forfeit game due to a lack of players!
Officials called 32 penalties on 20 players and a coach Saturday night in the season ending game for the Ice Bears during fan appreciation night. When they said ‘fan appreciation‘ they sure meant it.
The Fayetteville FireAntz and the Knoxville Ice Bears clear benches after the 2nd period and the biggest brawl in SPHL history takes place. Ten Fayetteville players and the team’s coach had been ejected. Nine Knoxville players had been tossed.
A statement from the Ice Bears said no players or fans were injured but it is now the fans favorite game of the year. Let’s take a look at the brawl with a few fan videos:
