Friend of the blog Robert Keith and the Texas Brahmas Insider caught the action at the Nytex Sports Centre as there was an epic brawl during pre game warm ups between the Texas Brahmas and the Allen Americans of the Central Hockey League.

Allen was exacting revenge on Brahmas goon James Hiebert who hit the Allen Star netminder and placed him on the 14 day IR last time the two teams battled. Words were exchanged, one thing led to another, and the end result was four guys getting game misconduct penalties before the teams had had a chance to stretch. The refs were not even dressed yet, no one was on the ice but the players. Brahmas went on to stomp Allen 5-2. This rivalry is shaping up to be as epic as the old texans/wings vs dallas blackhawks games of the 1970s. In fact next time these two square off at Nytex they will be wearing vintage Blackhakws and Wings jerseys as part of a special throwback series.

Special thanks to Robert Keith for having his camera ready. He was taking pictures within ten seconds of being in the doors of the bulding.

Opening Day Results

The Ranger Division got up and running over the weekend. Senators dismantled the Whalers in their Nytex Debut. Whalers look like a solid true Bronze League team. A pair of hat tricks in this one as Andrew Palmer got his first career hat trick for the Sens en route to a 4 point night. And Paul Thurston made his Nytex debut with the Whalers by getting 4 goals, the Whalers only four goals.

The late game featured the debut of the Jets vs the Ft. Worth Bandits. Tight game here, with the Jets edging out the Bandits 6-5.

Two additions you will notice in league lineup is that we will now keep track of power play goals as well as short handed goals. Palmer had a shorthanded goal for the Sens and Thurston had one of his four during a power play. This week the Spider Monkeys take on the Jaguars Thursday Night. This seasons crazy schedule has the bronze league running more like a real pro hockey league rather than the saturday night only seasons of the past.
