Great hockey story. I was living in Toledo and they had a high minor league team, the Toledo Gold Diggers(formerly the Blade). They were playing Columbus the last game before the playoffs, which both teams were in. Toledo was a pure goon team, well known for it. Even worst than Phila.Flyers NFL Broad Street Bullies would be. The Slapshot movie, though it took place nearby me in Johnstown, Pa. , was more patterned after the Toledo team than the Johnstown Jets, who didn't really fight much. Anyway, my brother and I were at that season finale game. Every seat in the7,000 seat arena filled with screaming fans. The entire game was massive fights.It was taking forever to play. With about four minutes left, both benches emptied out onto the ice and "every single player" on both teams started fighting . It was just like that finale scene in Slap Shot. And then, the two goalies met at center ice and commenced to slug it out. Both goalies broke their arms fighting each other (and couldn't play in the playoffs). The players wouldn't stop fighting. The refs went off the ice as the carnage continued. After about a half hour the Toledo riot police, helmets on, and police dogs, arrived at the arena. It took a while, but they finally broke up the fight. I've never seen anything like that since, and probably never will again. They ended the game without completing it and the police escorted all the fans out of the arena. More riot police and police dogs in the parking lot as we departed.
