What Better Way To End An ECHL Game Than A Fight At Center Ice [VIDEO]

Hockey really is an amazing sport. What other sport is there where you can fight and get away with it? You can probably get away with more in a hockey fight than you can with boxing and MMA.

An ECHL game between the Elmira Jackals and Adirondack Thunder is a case in point. It ended in epic fashion.

The Jackals won 5-4 in a shootout, but that's not when the action ended.

In the video you will see the Jackals celebrating their win at center ice when Adirondack goalie Ken Appleby chased down the player who scored the winning goal and decided to pick a fight with him.

The referee stepped in, trying to stop the fight, but of course it's hockey and a fight broke out at center ice. The fans got their money's worth.

I love the fact all the surrounding players made a nice circle and let the players fight one-on-one.
