Friday's game between the Winnipeg Jets and Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center may not have been the most fruitful in terms of twists and turns, and some spectators added even more spice to the evening.
So the website TMZ broadcast a video that showed certain people with conflicting loyalties who appeared to be in a warlike mood.

During a confrontation involving at least six people, two men decided to resolve the conflict more directly. A Ducks fan and another wearing a Jacob Trouba jersey – a former Jets hockey player – engaged in a brief wrestling session that ended with the second protagonist violently throwing his opponent to the ground.
The amateur, who was wearing the jersey of a local team, lay visibly shaken for a few moments. Anaheim police tell TMZ an investigation is ongoing and a bystander was taken to the hospital for treatment of a head injury. So far there have been no arrests.
