A brawl at a Pensacola Ice Flyers hockey game that didn’t happen on the ice has led to pending charges and a statement from the team owner.

During the Ice Flyers’ game against Knoxville on Friday, a fight broke out between game spectators in Section 111 of the Pensacola Bay Center. Videos from various angles of the fight began circulating on social media, initially showing two fans sitting with another who was sitting.

Several people threw multiple punches before Pensacola police and Ice Flyers personnel finally arrived at the department and calmed the situation.
