“No nets, no faceoffs, no goals – and definitely no gloves.” The Winnipeg Sun reports that “promoter Darryl Wolski is banking on to sell his unusual idea of a pay-per-view hockey fighting tournament to the sporting public.” Wolski “plans to round up between 50 and 100 pugilists, who will each pay an entry fee between $200 and $250 to participate in the Hockey Gladiators show. A large, two-tiered tournament schedule will then be set up, with fighters given two chances to make it to the final round. The brawls will last between one and two minutes and a panel of judges will designate the winners. In the end, the master enforcer will take home $50,000.” I certainly believe that hockey wouldn’t be hockey without an occasional fight, but I think this is a bit too much…
