What is the funniest or most bizarre thing you've seen at a DUB game?

For me, it was a few years back in Kelowna. Can't remember who the Rockets were playing but it was an ugly, chippy affair and tempers were running high. Former Rocket, Carsen Germyn decides he wants to go and finds a dancing partner. They both shed their gear and square off. Before they get in close, Germyn takes a few strides backwards and steps on his own stick and DOWN HE GOES! And I mean HARD. It was probably the worst he got hurt in a fight and not a single punch was thrown! lol

I also remember a nasty game with Kelowna and Kamloops going at it. Fights were going on all night. Stephen Sunderman wanted to go all night but couldn't coax Paul Brown into a fight. They finally facedoff along side each other after a goal and began chirping before the puck drop. Puck drops and Sunderman sheds his gear. Brown looks at him, looks at Brett Palin at the blueline, sheds his gear, skates AROUND Sunderman and beelines for Palin. Palin and Brown start throwing them while Sunderman is still at the faceoff circle picking up his gloves and helmet. The look on Sunderman's face was priceless! Sunderman skated beside Brown in the final few minutes of the game and asked for a fight yet again. Brown throws his arms up in the air and says fine! Sunderman finally got his wish and pumpled Brown really good. Sigh, wish Kamloops and Kelowna still had that hatred.

The last meeting between these two was plain old ugly. Three line brawls, coaches staning on the boards chipping at the other bench, and almost another brawl at the end of the game. Should be a good one in Kamloops on sunday....if the bus can get there due to the roads. I just hope the lunacy that prevailed in the last matchup doesn't happen again. I like a fight, but that gave junior hockey a big ol'e black eye. :mad:

The funniest/weirdest thing I ever saw was in a game in Spokane in either '90 or '91. The Victoria Cougars were in town and quite a few of the players had odd uniforms on. This I think was the season that they won like 5 games all year. Anyway, as it turns out the bus had broken down or ran out of gas on the way to Spokane. In order to pay to get the bus going again they had evidentally traded some of their jerseys. Quite a few of the players were wearing practice jerseys during the game with masking tape for numbers. The Chiefs won the game 14-1 too if I remember right.

That was definately an odd night at the old barn.

Poor old Andy Schenn getting hit up twice in the same game for playing without a mouthguard-- a week later, he was dealt.

Probably seeing 5'9 Ryan Cuthbert beating up 6'3 (or whatever) Paul Brown.

One time when Swift Current was here in Regina some time ago, there was a big line brawl 10 seconds into the game, and one of the Swift Current players left the bench, so of coarse a Pat did. I dont really remember what the outcome was, but it was pretty sweet. There was another brawl later on.

There was one game against MJ in 2000 or something, and it was when the whole O'Connor/Kaczowka fued was alive. Well, O'Connor was playing tough and just being a complete cheap ass the whole game with dirty elbows and and stuff, and Kaczowka didn't like it, so the whole game, he was calling O'Connor on but he was too good to fight Kaczowka, so he never dropped them, and whenever Kaz wasn't on the ice, he would be at it trying to fight other players or giving cheap shots. So one shift they were both on, and O'Connor was skating along the blue line and Kaz was skating right by him, and O'Connor puts up his elbow and nails him in the face and he goes down, then he was kinda slow to get up, and as O'Connor was starting to skate away, Murray grabs him by the back of his jersey at the neck not letting him get away, and waits for Kaczowka to get up, and he comes with a HUGE punch with momentum from skating and just about nailed O'Connor's head off...but luckely he ducked, and Kaz fell on him as he fell, and he only got one decent punch...well, more of an elbow in before the linesmen got there. In the end, O'Connor's a clown. Just try not laughing when looking at him.

In a game Kelowna verses the Americans, it was years ago in the Old Memorial Arena. Luke Curtin was in his first fight, can't remember the Ams player?

They dropped there gloves and right away you could see Curtin didn't know what he was doing. He hung on and tried to throw a couple pillows.

I was right behind the Rocket penalty box, the Ams player asked Curtin "was that your first fight", Curtin said "yes it was", then the Ams player said " you did pretty good!" Curtin said "thank you".

If Curtin would of said it wasn't his first the Ams player probly would of called him a *****, but because it was his first he congratulated him.

The funniest for me was last year when Seattle played Vancouver. it was Bruins night. Anyway, a guy had a chicken on a fishing rod, and threw it over the glass. Then, when the refs went to grab it, he pulled it back up. He managed to do this twice before security came and kicked him out. Then, he was allowed back in for the third period(the chicken was tooken away), and he held up a sign saying "I want my chicken". The crowd started chanting "we want chicken, we want chicken". Funny stuff. :D

Vancouver won in OT.

Hey, Fight Guy, wasnt O'Connor the idiot that puched the coke machine in Regina a few years back?

The funniest thing I have ever saw was during a Pats/Warriors game in the can. After a line brawl, the ref's were throwing guys out, and apparently ALL if the warriors thought they were getting thrown out, so they all left the ice. The ref had to go get some of them out of the dressing room. Then while the ref left, other players came off the bench and fought.

Of course, no one can forget the dustin slade blocker incident, or the linesman tackleing him...that was priceless. :D

Yep...good times, good times. There are countless Pats/Warriors stories. I was thinking about the Coke machine incident yesterday when I was trying to find the tape I had with the Kaz/O'Clowner deal. I miss O'Clowner...lol.

Something else that was funny was during the Canada/Finland game I saw in Winnipeg in '99. The ref made a bad call, and the whole crowd started chanting "BULL ****, BULL ****". It was awsome. And during that game as well, one the the Finnish players got one of the Canadian players in a headlock and did a classic WWF move by DDTing him. The guy was a joke. He did some other stupid things too. The next year he spit in someones face and got kicked out of the game...and the tournement I think too.

i can't remember for sure, but i believe it was an Ice vs Lethbridge, with seconds to go, after a heated game, both teams went at it.. jumping off the bench and everything, but the topper that i will never forget, was when the goalies dropped their equipment and met at center ice. the Ice's goalie was Boxma, i bet someone can refresh my memory on the canes goalie.

I think it was Brady Block I remember the game in the old silverdome Leathbridge was a real goon squad that year but we were no slouches to we had Belak and Yablonski on the Ice to counter there tough guys, I REMEMBER Block coming to center ice to chalange B.J. while the linebrawl was going on B.J took the chalange and totaly cleaned up on Block, there were so many fights the linesman could'nt stop them all, even the coach Maxwel took a swing at someone (I don't remember who) I was working for ICE Security and it was nuts we had to escort the canes out to there bus after the game and make sure that they all got on the buss and no ICE fans got involved with them . Nothing like those games in the Memorial Arena

Anyways the wierdest/funniest thing I've seen was at a Brandon/Swift Current game in speedy creek. It was in the playoffs and the Broncos had wrapped the game up but with about 30 seconds to go the Broncos coach put on all of his tough guys. They all proceeded to grab a hold of a wheatie and pound them into the ice. The coaches were then yelling at each other from the benches (which are on opposite sides of the rink). The Brandon coach then started firing water bottles across the ice at the Broncos bench. A fan then threw a pop bottle at the Brandon coach. This was all fine and dandy but to top it all off Jordan Tootoo (I think it was him) threw a water bottle back into the crowd in the direction in which the pop bottle was thrown. I'm pretty sure it hit some dude in the crowd right in the mug. It was hilarious.

No exactly funny or wierd, just very memorable. In the 1989-90 playoffs in round one, game one. Seattle vs Tri-Cities, with a crowd of 12,500 in Seattle Center Coliseum. The TBirds were loaded with a ton of scoring talent featuring Petr Nedved during his one year in Seattle.
The game starts getting one-sided on the scoreboard. About 5-1 or so. TC defenseman Steve Jaques (5'11" 190) takes on Seattle defenseman Cam Brauer (6'4" 220). Now Jaques was tougher than a two-bit steak. They dance and then Jaques hammers the much bigger Brauer with a monster left. His knees buckle. Jaques squares up and hammers him with another haymaker left. Brauer goes over on his back like he was hit by a train. Jaques is escorted to the dressing room (by Jay Sharrers), puts his thumbs under his armpits and "does the chicken" to the whole Seattle bench as he's escorted past (complete with huge smile).
But then early in the third period, the trouble really starts. Seattle fans start dousing the TC bench with beer. The TC players (namely Jeff Fancy and Terry Virtue, both of whom got suspended) starting standing on the bench and swinging their sticks at fans in a very vicious manner. As the chaos worsened, about 4 TC players (including Jaques) went into the stands and were hammering fans with sticks. The cops had to get up there pronto to settle the situation while high-ranking WHL officials (Commissioner Ed?) filed onto the ice to view the melee and take charge to calm the situation down. Ugly! In the end Seattle won the game 9-2, the series 5-1 (remember those best-of-9's?) and TC lost their coach, Rick Kozuback, and several players to stiff suspensions. Brian Burke was there and said it was the worst thing he'd ever seen. How nobody got seriously injured still amazes me 15 years later. Definitely the most bizarre thing I've ever seen. The Seattle Times referred to it the next day as a "medieval battle". At least!
And I still remember Jaques "doing the chicken" like it was yesterday.

This is gonna be a lame story but last year during the western conference finals it was Silvertips Vs Rockets at the Events Center. A rocket gets stuck in goal. After having our goalie Harvey yealling at him for about 15 seconds, Harvey just sits on the guy and starts throwing punches. One of our Defensemen comes over grabs the rocket on the leg and pulls both of them out of goal while they Harvey is still fighting. That was the beginning of the 'Harvey, Harvey' chant for the rest of the playoffs.

I posted this on another board a while ago but i still chuckle when i think of it. The year before The Swift Current Bronco's returned to Swift we had a Tier 2 team known as The Swift Current Indians. The coach of The Indians was non other then Paddy Ginnell who had coached W.H.L. teams like The Flin Flon Bombers. Now Paddy loved tough hockey and tough players. When he came to Swift he started trading for tough guys who could fight. One such guy he brought in was Darren Jorgenson. Darren was the most feared fighter in hockey at that time. In one game he wanted to fight so bad. He would cheap shot everyone and layed plenty of challenges but again no takers. He even skated to the opposing bench and stood there and asked for anyone to go. Again no challengers. Finally later when the game was out of reach Darren was on the bench frustrated. A scrum started on the ice with all the players pairing up except the goalie's. The linsemen and ref were at the far end trying to break up the meelee. While everyone was busy at the other end, Darren comes off the Indians bench and skates to where the puck was laying. He bends down, picks up the puck and skates to the blue line and gently sets the puck down. Facing the opposing goalie who was busy watching the fights, Darren winds up and lets a wicked slap shot at the goalie and hits him dead on the mask. Darren then skated to the opposing teams bench and dove in swinging at all the players left. By the way the goalie was fine.

first of all a Euro fighting and pure scorer somehow Lorentzen gets his fingers caught between shield and helmet. Can't shake it off and it is cutting his fingers everytime it moves. Can't get a punch off, Koot coach yelling about the helmet as a weapon. Lorentzen took a couple good punches but didn't swing at Dawes with the helmet. Lorentzen's finger were a bloody mess and he missed the rest of the period.

About three years ago, Hitmen forward Freddie Sjostrom caught a pass at the side of the crease, came in in front of the opposition goalie unmolested, dropped the puck between his legs, then flipped his stick around and between his legs and scored a goal from behind himself. Damndest goal I ever saw.

Kyle Wanvig was always good for a good show in Red Deer. I remember when Erat got hit from behind in Calgary. Without a moment's hesitation, Wanvig was in there to exact retribution. All you saw were these two gloves go flying about 15 feet in the air. There was another time when things got heated against Calgary and he stood in front of the Hitmen bench challenging the whole lot to come and fight him. Finally, there was the time when he scored a crucial goal (again, vs. Calgary) and afterwards skating along the front of the Hitmen bench, faking high-fives all the way down.

It was Blake Ward from Lethbridge, the reason I remember was because I was living in Lethbridge at the time, but home in Cranbrook for the Christmas holidays. ard was known to be one of the toughest goalies in the league at the time, but Boxma did well for himself.
