The game between the Carolina Thunderbirds and Columbus River Dragons on March 8th, 2020 became very interesting as the River Dragons coach began to yell at the Home team coach and then starts to climb into their bench. Both coaches are ejected and as they were escorted off the ice Columbus head coach Jerome Bechard shrugged off his jacket in an attempt to get Carolina head coach Andre Niec to fight him. This leads to a Columbus player dropping his gloves after being challenged by Niec. After this all hell breaks loose.

I like a good hockey fight as much as any other red-blooded Canadian but this was mayhem.
