Agreed,. What a temper, guy is so big he can hardly skate. He's only on ice for one reason.

He was a 2nd round draft pick many years ago

That's the idea, except that the result isn't scripted ahead time.

I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like the old LNAH, which was based in Quebec. It became well known for guys like Joel Thériault (featured in this video). There are a couple of documentaries that take a look at that league, and others like it. For the locals & fans who supported their team, they loved the chaotic brand of hockey. Tvarious teams enforcers would get in multiple fights in each game. which intensified the rivalries between each team. Eventually, with various videos popping up on KZfaq, hockey fans who enjoy watching fights made it rise in popularity. Unfortunately, that also got the unwanted attention from folks who thought it was barbaric, ridiculous, unprofessional, and an eyesore for the game of hockey. They thought it wasn’t a good reputation to have for people who were on the outside looking in, and that it was more about the fighting, instead of the game of hockey. Along with concerns about head trauma being linked to CTE, the LNAH decided to make some rule changes that would curb the amount fights happening per game, and it’s not like that anymore. Check out this mini doc about it. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otmmkpemsbnGdo0.htmlsi=TOL9CzulY6RIqHkJ There’s also another one called “Tough Guys”.

@@cleech74 thanks - I appreciate the detailed reply and link. ✌️

They WANT to be kicked out. These popular LNAH tough guys often have nightclub doorman/security jobs around Montreal. It's why most of the fights are pregame or first period. The clubs in whatever place Joel played PAID for him to greet and bounce. He was always popular and he was just working for the bag.

Rough high-school time unless he punched one kid and his fist reminded others ti not make fun of his name lol

Doesn't look like it.

Yes. But most are in their 30s and winding it up after a respectable ECHL or rarely AHL level career. Which means they're high level hockey players. In the LNAH? They're the guys who are standing off to the side during these idiotic staged "brawls" and checking their watches.

I presume the job description for an LNAH linesman is that he must have previously been a defensive tackle in either the NFL or the CFL.

Or the Jerry Springer show breaks out.

Aucun respect pour la game de hockey quand tu joue dans cette ligue alors fait pas s'attendre a des personnes avec du savoir vivre 😅😅🤣🤣

En effet toute qu un moron....

He kick some ass

C'est sur qu'il va chier dans ces culotte juste à penser à parler à Joël! Joël c'est un vrai dur de dur, un guerrier

Shaking

I believe his opponent is Jon Mirasty, another tough who can throw them pretty good. Been around a long time.

Neumí, neviděl si jak se bojuje👍
