ASU's Tucker Ness and Alaska's Dawson Bruneski Fight at Center Ice

Last night, with 11 seconds remaining in the game, Sun Devils forward Tucker Ness and Nanooks defenseman Dawson Bruneski left the penalty box to engage in a fight. Both players removed their gloves and helmets, left the penalty box, and fought at center ice. There's going to be a lengthy suspension coming. Bruneski is a graduate student and has probably played his last game in a college uniform. Who knows how many games Ness will miss? For those asking, Ness is the younger brother of UND forward Griffin Ness. 

The video has gone viral on X and has been well-received by some in the college hockey fanbase. I personally don't mind fighting in professional hockey, but I don't know I want to see this happen very frequently in college hockey. It was a staged fight and doesn't have a place in college hockey. I can see a fight erupting as the result of a dirty hit or play.
