The intensity of playoff hockey can easily lead to fights, though they’re usually confined to the ice. Once in a while it might even lead to rowdy fans scrapping in the stands. But you don’t expect a pro wrestling match to break out in the broadcast booth.

A fan tossed a chair at Abbotsford Canucks announcer Brandon Astle during an AHL Calder Cup playoff game. The Canucks later celebrated a 5-0 victory.

It seems like scuffles can happen just as easily off the ice as on the ice. Brandon Astle, an Abbotsford Canucks broadcaster, was allegedly struck by a chair from an angry fan during the AHL playoffs.
