Yesterday evening I was watching my local news and that had a story about some A.H.L. hockey game that happened in some Virginia city the other day. Had kind of a weird team name, I don't remember it, but they showed the line brawl that occured at the end. Looked like there were at least 8-9 fights going on, and they said there was about 200 penalty minutes doled out, and both Coaches from both teams received multiple game suspensions. Both team Coaches were on ice during the brawl as well. eek!

I didn't hear about the brawl, but the only Virginia team in the AHL is the Norfolk Admirals.

In the ECHL, the Wheeling Nailers play in Wheeling, West Virginia...that's more likely for a brawl.
