i usually take in 15-20 aus games a year as i find its the best entertaining hockey around...hard hitting,fast and skilled.....but all in all it was bound to happen as X is probably the greasiest team in the league...lots of guys who were non physical in major junior can now be tough guys in the league with no fighting with the exception of Hoyles and Cormier who have always been tough...Peedle showed his classlessness with some of the comments to Acadia's asst coach...anyways could be the last game of the year for a couple players and coaches if the AUS gets it right...great video job so they will have lots to look at I read comment online that there was more to the story, that something had been said that ignited everything. I wonder what that was and to whom it was intended. In situations like this, it reminds me how dumb the idea was to have both benches on the same side. There isn’t nearly as much bralwling and altercations as 15-20 years ago, but a lot of it seem to get started in line changes with the doors close together. I prefered rinks with benches on opposite sides. When was the last time you saw a line brawl in the AUS ? In the Q they happen maybe once per year now. Benches together has not been a problem with tougher rules on fighting. The old style where one bench was beside the penalty boxes (The home bench), and the visitors bench was always on the other side made for an unfair advantage for the home team.

Whatever advantage there was to having your bench next to the penalty box is negligible. Especially in the context of the amount of scrums and fights that were ignited from line changes. There are definitely less fights, but still a lot of needless scrums and altercations. Your penalty is done and you get on the ice at the same time, nothing forces you to go to the bench, especially if you’re stuck in your zone or you have a shot at a breakaway.

Nope ... clear advantage to the home team. We see scrums all the time in front of the nets ... should we get rid of them too ? Scrums happen ... we have rules to contain them.

The clear difference is, nets have to be there, benches don't have to be side by side.

This is nuts, considering their not allowed to fight in the AUS going to be some major suspensions to both teams,
Most rinks the benches are on the Same side now, they are in Halifax and in Truro.

Acadia seemed to restrain themselves and only got involved when they were forced to fight. Except for the stick that was launched javelin-style at the X bench. And Acadia was the first team to have a player leave the bench. But I agree that X instigated the line brawl off the face off.

No place in society for this, all respect for Acadia is gone!

If the allegations are true, I would suspect the Acadia men’s hockey program to be suspended, coach Darren Burns to be out of a job. Pretty dispicable to shame a survivor of sexual assault. Then the coach and refs made aware of it, and not only do nothing but send the main antagonist out to take the draw against Studnicka.

The program won’t be suspended because of this, if anything the player that made the comments will/should be suspended but I don’t imagine at all that Coach Burns will be fired or the program suspended over the comments made by a player. There’s no room for the comments made but to suggest that a whole program will be suspended because of it, is over the top and excessive.

The allegation implies that the entire coaching staff not only knew, but condoned the comments made over multiple games by multiple players. Programs have been suspended for less

Considering the circumstances (if true) I doubt the fights will be penalized as they normally would. How do you suspend Strudnicka considering the circumstances? Especially if the refs employed by the AUS were made aware and did nothing.
