Devastating Hit Leaves Player Unconscious in Federal League + Ensuing Fight (VIDEO)

They call the East Coast Hockey League 'The Jungle' because of all of the crazy antics and fights that go down. The Coast is a crazy league, but if that is a jungle...what do we call the Federal Prospects Hockey League?

In this clip: Danbury Hat-Tricks vs. Binghamton Black Bears

Daniel Amesbury of the Hat Tricks lined up opposing forward Gavin Yates from a mile away, caught him with his head down, and knocked him unconscious. For a concerning amount of time, frankly. It was about as blindside a hit as you could find, regardless of Yates' positioning leading into the incident.

Yates' teammate jumped right to his defense, as one should have. That was a vicious hit. Amesbury was tossed from the game, received five-for-fighting, five minutes for charging, and could have a suspension on the way.

The Hat-Tricks took this one 5-1, with the Bears' only goal coming from Yates. The team has not issued any statement on Yates' condition, but one fan reportedly saw EMS going into the locker room. Hopefully, the check looked worse than it was.
