An all-out brawl at the end of the Aldergrove Kodiaks-Squamish Wolf Pack game on November 18 means several players from both teams won't be playing in their next games.
The tilt had started promisingly with Kodiaks Colton Precourt and Travis Gorman notching one apiece in the first to one goal by the Wolf Pack.
Mike Phillipson scored early in the second as well but that would be all the Kodiaks would muster that night, and the Pack scored twice in the second and third to win 5-3.
Kodiaks keeper Evan Thomas faced 53 shots on his net to the Kodiaks 33 shots on the Pack. And both teams had a power play goal in the first, but Squamish got another in a five-on-three after Chad Veillet and Ross Belansky took penalties seconds apart in the second.
Both teams were sitting at three goals apiece at the start of the third but Squamish notched two more that period.
The game ended with an ugly donnybrook that did nothing to change the score or prospects for the next game away against Port Moody Black Panthers (this team sits at the bottom of the Harold Brittain conference with 10 points) this Saturday.
The Kodiaks remain stalled at 28 points, three behind the the conference-ruling Ridge Meadows Flames, whom the Kodiaks host in Aldergrove on Nov. 25.
