Former NHLer shares wild story about Sheldon Keefe, claims Keefe tried to take his eye out in Junior

Murley describes an incident from the 1998 during the MetJHL playoffs, when Keefe was 16 or 17 and he and Murley were still in high school. Keefe's Caledon Canadiens were up against Murley's Syracuse Jr. Crunch in the semi-finals. In game 5, Murley was in a fight with a different player. Keefe, who was his team's best player, was the third man in on the fight and gouged Murley's eye causing him to require an eye patch.

Keefe was suspended for the remainder of the series and Murley did not play as he required an eye patch after the incident. Murley alleges that Keefe attempted to fight him in the stands as he passed the snack bar during one of the two remaining games and called Keefe "one of the dirtiest junior players of all time".

Keefe scored 81 points in 43 games that year, adding a total of 117 penalty minutes that season.

Murley didn't stop there, though, as he fired another shot at Keefe, suggested that during Game 1's line brawl, Keefe was ready and waiting to jump out there and join the brawl. Given how animated he always is on the bench, I'd believe it.
