The skirmish erupted in the second period, with players escalating from pushing and shoving to a full-blown glove-dropping altercation. Amidst the chaos, goaltenders Leland Gill of the Cambridge RedHawks and Hayden Sabourin of the London Nationals took center stage, skating to center ice for a spirited exchange of punches.
The brawl concluded with a handshake between the two netminders, marking a unique and memorable moment in Canadian junior league hockey, typically known for its energetic and affordable entertainment.
