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.

    Agreeing with you for the most part, but e = mc^2 isn’t the relevant equation here. That only works if we’re literally annihilating the players out of existence, which might be worth more than the maximum fine allowed by the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. Maybe. More sanguine here would be momentum, which is merely a product of mass and velocity.

      I think you’re confusing what I actually typed (e = mv^2) with e = mc^2. What I typed is literally mass times velocity squared, and it’s the equation for kinetic energy.

      Edit: Oops, missed the 1/2 part, but that’s not really relevant to the discussion or results anyways.

        I was also getting at momentum, but I’m an idiot. This is what I get for being an engineer without coffee.
