There have been a lot of incidents happening involving players in ice hockey. Recently, goalies Ryan Fanti and Brad Barone shared some punches during a game in the ECHL. It happened during the third period of the game when both engaged in a fight. The referees took control of the situation as the game ended in favor of the Komets 6-4.

Watch the video below:

The Wheelers scored through Cédric Desruisseaux in the sixth-minute period and increased the deficit with a second goal through Louie Roehl in the 12th minute. But the Komets fought back with goals from Garrett Van Wyhe and Drake Rymsha to end the first period 2-2.

The second period saw the Wheelers take the lead in the sixth minute, but the Komets came back strong and scored three in the next nine minutes to end the period with a two-goal lead. In the third period, both teams defended well to allow only one goal each, but the Komets took the win after playing through a better second period.
