Sweet donnybrook, but it peters out way faster than you think it will.

And here I was always led to believe that lacrosse players had stamina.

National summer sport. Just to be clear.

That's what she said.

For a minute it looked like the flow of a rugby match.

I like how the goalie waddled out to the blue line to take out a dude.

This is your coverage area isn't it?

I am very familiar with this league as someone very close to me it plays in it. This is the age group where they are first allowed to fight, the beginning of each year is a **** show, but this was bad.

Meaning the coaches encourage them to drop gloves in the first few games? The players don't understand the unwritten rules of brawling (like no two-on-ones or punching a defenseless opponent)?

No, you have a bunch of testoterone filled kids that are all of a sudden allowed to fight. There are more fights at the beginning of the year than at the end. It is a novelty and theses teenagers think they have something to prove. A bench clearing brawl rarely happpens. Line brawls a little more often but the norm is just a 1 on 1 fight.

Has anyone told Canada that this is Canada's national (summer) sport? Word doesn't seem to have gotten out just yet.

Yes it is, spent all day yesterday chasing it, thought some on the board may enjoy the clips.

Bench clearing brawls at this level are rare, league commissioner said it was the first one he had seen in 12 years at the post. 15 suspensions.

The team that I am close to had a line brawl last week. They play Nanaimo this weekend. The coaches need to be suspended for a very long time.

Commissioner wouldn't say who was suspended. Nanaimo had a coach who was filling in for their regular coach, however, so a suspension to him I don't think would mean much. It was a 15-4 game in the second period for Coquitlam when this broke out. Game was called afterwards.

Well, I can tell you that intermediate-level lacrosse is the equivalent of one step down from junior varsity. How many people do you expect to show up to watch intramural basketball at your local high school?

No it's not the equivalent, not even close. The hockey equivalent would be major midget or midget AAA.

In BC this is the top level for 16 and 17 year olds.

Sorry for the mistaken assumption. I was going by what I know about Ontario lacrosse, and in Ontario the junior and intermediate age divisions are the same. You play intermediate when you're not good enough to make a Junior B team.

Hell, we have a Junior C league here now that started with five teams in 2008 and expanded to 18 teams last year.

The team in the white and black, if I saw this correctly, were bigger and stronger than the other team and started the brawl. They were cheap shotting every chance they could. They should be punished as severely as the league allows.

What I do love about this video is watching #27 for purple and yellow. One kid from the white team though he grabbed a smaller kid to fight, then there was the "oh ****" moment when #27 ripped his helmet off to go. Loved seeing that thug realizing he just ****ed with a young Domi.

I'm not sure why it isn't the same across the country but Junior here starts at 18. There are kids who play up like in hockey but the majority play intermediate.
