Huge brawl in NAHL leads to more than 200 PIM, including abuse of official (video)

A game over the weekend in the North American Hockey League turned into what looked like a street fight at one point, with officials handing out over 200 minutes in penalties. One player, Jake Hosszu, received close to 70 PIM himself, including a gross misconduct for abuse of officials.

Around midway through the third period between the St. Cloud Norsemen and Bismarck Bobcats, tempers boiled over, with a huge brawl ensuing off the faceoff. At one point, just about every player on the ice was involved in throwing hands. It took several minutes for the officials to get things under control, and that didn't happen until after Hosszu had taken down one of the officials who was trying to stop him from continuing to fight. Here's video of the incident.

The official list of penalties just from that incident alone is pretty staggering. The rest of the game continued to be rough from that point on. No word on possible suspensions yet.
