What a time trip! Thanks for sharing this memory it brought me back to my youth. Crazy to see how much sports has changed. Much less violent now

I was fortunate enough to be at this game as a young kid. God damn it hooked me for life

I was at this game. I was pretty young but remember it vividly. Most of the fights were at the opposite end of where I was sitting though so that sucked.

One of the best nights of my life. 23 years old, down at 15 North in West Chester, PA with a friend for a normal week night (Bull riding night I believe). Once the fights started, every single person was clustered around the TV’s and the music stopped. People were roaring and it was awesome!

I reffed a youth game the next day, Minutemen squirts vs someone, was tail end of the season and nothing at stake. Those little shits combined for 29 penalties. They were doing their best to reenact this craziness.

I was watching at home and by the second line brawl I was jumping up and down laughing like hell! This game was just great and seeing the benches only half full at the end was hilarious

I remember Neil Little doing the superman in a brawl a few months before this, [Binghamton Sens vs Phantoms](https://youtu.be/nbmhz3iVZHg?feature=shared). Possiby related? I don’t remember, and can’t read the article.

I still remember watching this at home, just felt like a marathon. What a gong show.

Just left the hospital that night as my grandma died, and came home to watch this and take my mind off things. The carnage of that game certainly helped.

What? How can this be a post about the brawl that changed everything when the March 26, 1997 brawl between the red wings and avalanche already changed everything?
