Hockey players are known throughout the sport world for being incredibly tough, and tonight everyone got an extreme example of just how tough they are.
Vincent Arseneau met Kale Kessy at center ice for a hardcore fight, the kind you only really see in the minor leagues. The two veteran forwards have played 10 year careers in the AHL, and they showed their experience in the tilt. Both forwards landed hard and direct punches before the referees stepped in to break it up.

Then came the gruesome kind of sight you'd only see in hockey. Arseneau came away from the fight holding up his hand, and his fingers were visibly mangled. Arseneau grabbed his fingers as he was skating back to the bench, and actually seemed to resent his broken finger.
It was a truly gnarly thing to see. It would've been even more incredible if he was able to stay in the game, but Arseneau was forced to leave the game after the incident.
Of interest for Edmonton hockey fans, Kale Kessy happens to be a former Oiler minor leaguer. Now 31 years old, the Saskatoon native Kessy was brought into the Oilers organization in the AHL for the Oklahoma City Barons in 2013. Over ten years later, he's never played an NHL game.
Hockey players are truly a different breed of tough when it comes to professional athletes. Even these pair of two minor league forwards and veterans of the AHL of ten years. How many times have you seen a player reset his bone in any other sport?
