My very first Junior A hockey game was against the Moscow Dynamo. Towards the end of the second they wired a shot at our goalie after the whistle which started a scuffle, for which I was on the ice for. Then their whole bench emptied on to the ice and it was still just the 5 of us and 24 (yeah, they dressed 24 players) of them, but then our whole team came on. Most of our team was from Northern Ontario and we had about 5 First Nations guys (anybody who plays hockey knows that these gus like the rough game) and our guys ended up beating the crap out of their whole team. I didn't really contribute much to the fight myself, aside from having my knee on top of one guys face pinning it to the ice and holding another guy, but one of my friends beat the shit out of a guy right beside me, looked like some guy hitting a punching bag. It was a great time and a great introduction to Junior A hockey. We won the game 4-1. We didn't win much for the rest of the year though.  |

I don't think the Hanson's were technically First Nations guys, but they should at least get an honorable-First Nations status. Your wonderful story brought visions of the Hanson's to my mind. |

Moscow Dynamo, consistently one of the top teams in the Russian Super League, a team that plays exhibition games against NHL teams and wins ( http://www.flyershistory.com/cgi-bin/poboxscore.cgi?10000007 just as a quick example ), is playing games against Canadian Jr. A teams? Come on. And you beat them too! |

Come on now 
Just like most major sports teams in Europe, it starts at the ground roots level and people work their way up through the system to hopefully play for the major team someday. We played the Junior aged team.
If you are going to be smug, do some research first. |

You did say 'the Moscow Dynamo'.
Not being smug, just needed clarification. |

I never quite understood why brawling was such an admirable part of the game. People are proud of this?
I didn't grow up with this game, but looking at stuff like this just makes me feel even more that ice hockey is WWF on ice. It's not a good look. |

WWF is set-up, hockey brawls are real.
Brawls happen very, very rarely, especially these days. Hockey can be a dangerous sport, very dangerous, and one of the biggest deterents people have from doing something really stupid and really hurting someone is knowing that if they do it, there is a good | |
