While hockey has no doubt toned down the violence in recent years, sometimes, the physical play returns, and in the past few days, we saw the perfect example of that.

AHL Haymakers

The AHL regular season is now underway, and in the first game for both the Calgary Wranglers and Manitoba Moose, we saw a major throwback to old-school hockey.

During the first period with the Wranglers trailing 2-0, forward Alex Gallant took the comeback into his own hands, dropping the gloves with Jeffery Viel, and what ensued was pure magic.

A wild night

With no regard for their own safety, both men traded wild haymakers until Gallant seemingly got the best of the moment before the referees intervened, and it's safe to say that social media was blowing up about the battle.

The Wranglers would use this as momentum and go on to complete the 4-2 comeback against Manitoba, and it's safe to say that both teams will look forward to meeting again after such a wild moment.
