Melee erupts huge line brawl involving hundreds of penalty minutes in NAHL game

The Bismarck Bobcats and St. Cloud Norsemen had quite the game on Saturday night. Bismarck picked up a 7-4 win, but the high scoring affair was not the main event of the night.

The two clubs combined for 226 penalty minutes in the game after a melee and a massive line brawl occurred. St. Cloud's Jake Hosszu and Bismarck's Adam Pietila each were assessed 69 penalty minutes.

Video of the incident can be seen below.

Not a great look, no matter the level of play. Suspensions have to be incoming here@sydneyisawolf @CalebJPeabody pic.twitter.com/P2SGNfnXrn— Noah Grant (@SCSUHockey91) October 9, 2022

It's definitely not a good look for the teams, and the melee was absolutely gross. There will likely be multiple suspensions and bans handed out on both sides.
