We initially thought this hockey fight, presumably from the minor league East Coast Hockey League (which surprisingly now has teams in Salt Lake City, Boise, Las Vegas and Anchorage!), involved a player from the Wheeling Nailers based in Wheeling, W.Va., but upon furhter review we are not so sure.
The fight actually seems to be involving a player from the Trenton Thunder, a team that is now called the Trenton Devils. We can concur that both teams are/were based in Trenton, NJ.
We do know that the ECHL's South Carolina Stingrays of Chareston, SC, are celebrating Saint Patrick's Day a bit early this year during their March 12th home game versus the Florida Everblades, which is also Military Night.
The Stingrays' goalie Shane Connelly, who like most hockey players did not actually grow up in the Palmetto State (he is from Pennsylvania) will be celebrating his 23rd birthday on March 16.
Other ECHL standouts include the scoring duo of Aaron Clarke and T.J. Fox for the Nailers and current Player of the Week Stefano Giallati of the Reading Royals (in Reading, Pa.).
Let the fights....oh, we mean let the games begin!
