League to discuss security after fans brawl in stands
A large brawl in the stands of a senior hockey championship game in Unity will be brought up at the league’s spring meeting. But the president of the Sask West Hockey League wonders what can be done.
A two-and-a-half minute video taken by a fan at the fifth and deciding game of the league championship between Biggar and Wilkie Tuesday March 29 shows a large number of spectators tussling in the stands immediately after the Wilkie Outlaws secured the title.
“I was in the penalty box,” recalled league president David Hogg. “We were… getting ready to do the presentations of the league trophy and MVP of the playoffs, and all of a sudden you hear a big ruckus at the one end of the rink and you could hear people yelling ‘there’s fights’ or whatever going on down there.”
