Both teams have been suspended indefinitely by the ASHL while they investigate the incident. The ASHL has also informed both teams that permanent expulsion from the league is an option. CTV's Adrien Ghobrial described the scene with players "swinging their hockey sticks over their heads like a group of lumberjacks," while the ASHL called it "shocking and unacceptable".
According to many, there were "problem players" on both teams. Miraculously, there were no serious injuries from the brawl and police were not called.
