Sore losers! Women's ice hockey game descends into chaos as players punch each other in mass brawl

  • The huge brawl involves just about every player on the ice 
  • Referees lose control of the situation as punches fly
  • An 8-1 thrashing at the time may go some way to explaining the brawl

A women's ice hockey match descended into chaos when a mass brawl erupted involving almost every single player on the rink. 

It started when the puck was down the far end and there was a clash of bodies before two players started fighting.

Suddenly, more players piled in as the referees struggled to keep the situation under control.

The incident happened in the central Russian city of Krasnoyarsk, and was filmed by one of the spectators on their phone.

The match between HC Biryusa Krasnoyarsk and HC SCSO Yekaterinburg was part of the Russian female hockey league. 

At one point a young woman's voice was heard saying: 'Have you seen this? Hey chicks, cut it out!'

Fights are quite usual for men's hockey matches, but it is not so common in women's hockey.

On top of the physical beating, SCSO also took a beating on the scoreboard, as  HC Biryusa were winning the game 8-1 at the time of the fight and eventually scored 9-2.

Biryusa is in fourth place in the tournament with 12 points after 6 matches, while SCSO are dead last, having failed to get a single point so far.
