That's what I would do. Let them knock each other the fuck out and let them sue each other.

 

Dude, I live in Maryland. It's not bullshit here.

 

Thanks, dude.

Glad to know that refs would do nothing while 2 kids were pounding on one kid.

 

You can tell they're canuckistanis by the way the two dudes stopped and threw the gloves and helmet before stepping in at around the :30 mark of the second video. Plainly the fighting style of kids raised in hockey culture.

 

It's lacrosse culture as well. It is what is done in 90% of box lacrosse fights. You can't fight through a cage. Even though this league is 16 to 18, fighting is only a 5 minute penalty. It is a completely different game than field lacrosse, a much better gam IMO.

 

all three fans were in an uproar.

 

I guess I'm just not as familiar with lacrosse culture. It just cracked me when I saw that, immediately thought "these two kids clearly grew up watching hockey fights." Maybe that's where lacrosse kids took it from.

 

Most box lacrosse players also play hockey, which is fitting since the box version of the sport was invented by hockey promoters who wanted a use for their arenas during the summer months.

It turned out to be excellent cross-training, and some prominent NHL players have also been first-rate lacrosse players at some point in their lives. Joe Nieuwendyk, for example, was the top scorer on teams that won two consecutive Canadian Junior A championships in 1984 and 1985 - Gary Roberts was a teammate at least one of those years - and he was the most valuable player of the 1984 final.

Adam Oates won three straight Ontario Junior A MVP awards in the early 1980s and still holds the records for most assists (19) and most points (29) in a single Junior A game.

 

Suprising that was not 28 assists and one goal.

 

A lot of those kids were breaking a lot of the fighting "rules" in that brawl. Some were following, though.
