Police Called After Each Teams' Bench Clears to Brawl Against Each Other
Senior hockey is often characterized by more physical play and fighting than other levels of the sport. For some players, getting into altercations is seen as a way to establish themselves and make an impact on the game. Unfortunately, this can sometimes escalate into full-on bench-clearing brawls, as was recently seen in a Quebec Senior League game.
The violent incident involved numerous players from both teams, as well as some fans who had come down to the ice. The situation was so chaotic that local police were called to intervene and restore order.
While fighting may be seen as a part of the game by some in senior hockey, it's important for players to remember that their actions can have serious consequences both on and off the ice:

The chaos during the Quebec Senior League game was apparent as players from all sides engaged in multiple confrontations. Even officials could not prevent fights from breaking out. As the situation worsened, more players joined in, leading to a call to the police.
Although fights are not uncommon in senior hockey, the scale and intensity of this brawl were extreme.
