It also doesn't get mentioned that the Flyers ended the game on a 5 on 3. The fight started at the buzzer with 5 Flyers fighting the three Thunder Bay kids. Both teams came onto the ice at game end and a 4 th Thunder Bay player came from the bench and got involved. the coaches (retards) did not send their kids out to brawl. I know one of the coaches well and he never would have sent kids over the bench.

Fact - the game did not end on a 5-3 Flyer advantage...in fact Flyers were on a 5-4 advantage and Thunder had their goalie pulled so it was 5 on 5 players on the ice (excluding the Flyer goalie) Fact...at the final buzzer, with the puck rolling into the Flyer D zone corner a Thunder played leaped into the air and hit the biggest kid on the Flyers from behind into the glass. The Flyer player reacted accordingly to this type of hit and defended himself...by pushing and admittingly throwing some punches...but all by himself...and the refs would have broken this up...BUT FACT - as the Flyer players left the bench to celebrate and hogpile on the winning goalie...one of the coaches on the Thunder bench yell GO!!!...and all the Thunder players came off the bench in a wave, attacking Flyer players at random, some from BEHIND!...it was a sad show of unsportsmanship...clearly somebody needs to remind the TB coach who yelled GO!...not to confuse the tactics he obviousy teaches players on the Tier 3 JUNIOR hockey team he coaches in the SIJHL ....with what are appropriate tactics ...both on the ice and when the final buzzer sounds...for the 12-13 year old kids he coaches on the Thunder. FACT...a Flyer coach did pull a Thunder player off a Flyer player because he tried to KICK the Flyer player with this skate. The real loser here are the kids who got cheated out of a championship game...both the Thunder players...and they are very skilled hockey players...and the Flyers players...who are also very skilled hockey players. Really sad...but there is simply too much bad blood between these 2 teams to chance a repeat of how the last tourney ended...hopefully as time goes on the situation will simmer down and we can all move on from this.
