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 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.
Bruce Tennant, a hockey referee, told CTV News’ Adrian Ghobrial the two teams are “known as problem players” in the league.The CEO and President of Canlan Sports, which owns ASHL, told CTV News Friday the incident is “very disappointing” and “completely unacceptable.” St-Aubin said this league plays over 36,000 games per year, with more games in a single week than the NHL plays throughout an entire season.
“As a result, the two teams have been indefinitely suspended, multiple players have been permanently expelled and additional participants will receive disciplinary action,” St-Aubin said., the ASHL said the additional participants from both teams will need to comply with many conditions before coming back to any of their leagues, tournaments or sanction programs.
