Things got a little feisty at a youth hockey game during the intermission of an American Hockey League.

The Hershey Bears’ “Mites On Ice” intermission segment took a violent turn, when players, aged under 8 and from the Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club, began fighting each other.

The Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association launched an investigation. They stated that “appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against those players and team officials involved with the staged fight”.

“This intermission game was not sanctioned by USA Hockey or the Atlantic Amateur Hockey Association,” the AAHS said.

The Central Penn Panthers Youth Ice Hockey Club also released a statement, writing that “the safety, well-being, and positive experience of all participants—especially our young players—are of the utmost importance”.

“We are currently conducting an internal review to fully understand the circumstances surrounding the incident,” they added.

Footage captured by The Chocolate Roar shows the brawl unfolding.
