Punch-up in Piestany

I don't know what I expected to find when I typed "hockey fight" into YouTube's search field, but this is awwwwesome. The "Punch-up in Piestany" erupted halfway through the final game of the 1987 world junior hockey championship. Canada was assured a medal, and would have moved ahead of Finland for the gold if they had beaten the Soviets by at least five goals. The blow-up began as a fight between Pavel Kostichkin and Theoren Fleury. Four Soviet players left their bench to join the brawl causing both benches to clear. link
