Video has surfaced showing a brawl between two men's recreational hockey teams that erupted on the ice in Toronto earlier this week, with players not only exchanging blows, but slashes with their sticks.
The fight hit the ice during an Adult Safe Hockey League (ASHL) game on Monday, Sept. 11, at Canlan Sports York, located south of Steeles Avenue. The ASHL has more than 65,000 players, from beginner to pro, participating across the country and in the United States.
In the video footage obtained by CTV News, which was streamed on the online broadcasting site LiveBarn, players from both teams can be seen shoving, grabbing, and punching one another, with some using their hockey sticks to strike. The footage has been removed from the platform.
Bruce Tennant, a hockey referee, told CTV News’ Adrian Ghobrial the two teams are “known as problem players” in the league.
“In 45-plus years of refereeing, I’ve never seen anything like that,” Tennant said.
The CEO and President of Canlan Sports, which owns ASHL, told CTV News Friday the incident is “very disappointing” and “completely unacceptable.”
“We’re grateful that nobody was seriously injured that was involved in the incident or near the incident, this was an exceptional, violent incident that we took it very seriously and complete a thorough investigation,” Joey St-Aubin said in an interview.
