Two enforcers go tarps off for ridiculous fight
In a recent game from the FPHL, an independent professional hockey league in the United States, a ridiculous fight occurred when two enforcers went tarps off to scrap with each other.
Despite being named the Federal Prospects Hockey League, these two were anything but destined for a future in the NHL. Justin Schmit and Elias Thompson. The two are veterans on professional minor leagues only, and you can tell from their proficiency in fighting and struggles with skating.
The fight when on for some time, but the two really struggled to grab and hold onto each other without a jersey to grab. Instead the fight became kind of a grabby match with the odd connecting punch. As one player got the other in a headlock, the referees eventually stepped in to break it up.
It's honestly a ridiculous gimmick, and a play from a minor league to gain more attention to the league. That said, the gimmick worked - because this fight is absolutely hilarious.
