Back before Hockey East was formed, Maine and Providence had a knock down
dragout fight that would have been deemed violent in the NHL.  It was the
first year that Maine was in Division I.  I don't remember all the
details, but at least 5 players from each team recieved game misconducts.
It was a gem of a fight!  About the only bench emptier I've seen (during a
game - this was the second period) in college hockey.  Anyone remember
this 15 rounder at Schneider Arena?

I remember a similar situation a few years back at Matthews Arena.  Lowell
had made a stirring comeback late in the game when all hell broke loose.
It was so out-of-control that the officials had to call the game before
the actual end of regulation.  I remember Jeff Flaherty from Lowell
actually charged up into the stands to attack a group of Northeastern
students, and a player from NU (might of been Harry Mews) slugged a
linesman.
