One of the more recently brutal examples of bare-knuckle hockey boxing.On March 6th, the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators faced off in a highly anticipated matchup between two of the NHL's most celebrated rivals. 26 seconds into the game, a fight broke out between Toronto’s Frazer McLaren and Ottawa rookie Dave Dziurzynski. After four or five punches were thrown by each player, McLaren landed a devastating blow. Dziurzynski crumbled to the ground, knocked unconscious at the hand of his opponent. He lay motionless, face down on the ice as the referees frantically called for Ottawa’s medical staff. The crowd roared with approval. It was Dziurzynski’s first fight in the National Hockey League.
