During a Memorial Cup clash between the OHL champions London Knights and WHL representatives Moose Jaw Warriors which brought some fresh excitement to the ice, thanks to some innovative fight camera angles.

In the heat of the game, London's Max McCue and Moose Jaw's Caleb Parker engaged in a spirited scrap during the second period. McCue emerged victorious, sending the fans into a frenzy.

Yet it wasn't just the fans at the arena who got a thrill. Viewers at home were treated to a unique perspective, as a cameraman strapped on skates and hit the ice to capture the action up close and personal.

Now, the question arises: should the NHL consider adopting this idea of having an on-ice cameraman for fights? Why isn't it already a thing?

It's no secret that the NHL is always on the lookout for ways to engage fans and add excitement to the game. While opinions on fighting in hockey may differ, it adds a certain level of intensity and emotion to the sport. Having a cameraman right there on the ice could provide viewers with a thrilling new perspective on the action.

Whether you're a supporter of fighting in hockey or not, it's clear that it's still a part of the game for now. And if it helps boost ratings and adds to the entertainment value of the sport, it's definitely worth considering for the NHL. Oh and as for the game, the Knights won 5-4, and improved to 2-0 in the tournament.

They'll face the host Saginaw Spirit on Wednesday in a Western Conference finals rematch for a bye to the Memorial Cup championship. Meanwhile, Moose Jaw, here for the first time, will face fellow 0-2 pals Drummondville from the QMJHL, to see who stays alive and reaches the semifinal against the loser of London-Saginaw.
