In the NHL, it’s almost a regular occurrence to see fights break out. However, fighting is strictly prohibited in youth hockey. If any player tries to throw a punch or wrestle someone else, whether it be on the rink, inside the locker room, or even during a practice, the consequences are severe. Recently, though, the Giant Center in Hershey saw something quite extraordinary on the AHL ice.

No, it wasn’t the Hershey Bears’ 3-2 win over the Cleveland Monsters, but a mite-level hockey game that happened during the intermission. As reported by Allie Berube on X, the video showed what was about to be a normal hockey game between the kids, which turned into an all-out war.
Fists were thrown between the white/red no. 96 and the black/blue no. 53, while the white/red no. 5 lay on the ice. Eventually, the kid in the black/blue jersey got to the other as they slammed them on the rink and also threw a punch. However, grab your popcorn because this whole fight just got more interesting.

To no. 96’s rescue came his two teammates in white/red. But one of them was completely caught off guard, as another player in blue/black came and, with a certain speed, just collided with them. Then came the misunderstanding.

A few wearing the black/blue jerseys tumbled down together and started brawling with each other. However, they realized it quickly and stopped. Meanwhile, the fights on the rink didn’t stop. Every single one of them had an opponent to brawl with, and the entire crowd was going insane.

The camera focused again on the white/red no. 96, who was exchanging their fists, this time with black/blue no. 67. But out of nowhere, the white/red goalie arrived and just hit no. 67 like a literal truck, making them fall on the rink. The entire footage on social media captured a lot of fans’ attention, who were nothing but surprised.
