Evan Paul was playing his second game in net for the North Vancouver Wolf Pack when a fight erupted in the third period of his team’s Jan. 25 game against the Richmond Sockeyes at Minoru Arena.

Video of the fight shows Richmond defenceman Eithan Grishin over top of Paul with his arms around the goaltender for close to 20 seconds. When Grishin lets go, Paul slumps to the ice.

Grishin, 19, was (previously) suspended 16 games for incidents earlier this season, according to the PJHL website.

On Nov. 16, he received a 13-game suspension — five games for harassment of an official, three games as supplemental discipline, two games after receiving a game misconduct for being the third man in a fight, and three games as supplemental discipline for being a repeat offender.

    There is a video in the article that shows what happened and it had sfa to do with speed.

    Going off topic to justify all the violence that happens in hockey isn’t the argument you think it is.

    Are there times shit happens without intent? Ofc there is. But in this instance that is obviously not the case.

    Watch the video

      I didn’t respond to discussions about this incident. I responded to someone else going off topic.

      So fuck right off.
