Domi, fan get up close and personal – March 29, 2001

A glass panel provides a nice sense of security for the belligerent fan. But once that barrier is broken, all bets are off. Just ask the guy who tumbled into the penalty box at a Philadelphia Flyers game and ended up tangling with the object of his heckling, Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Tie Domi. Domi was in the box serving an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when a fan began showering him with insults. Domi struck back, squirting the heckler twice with water. The fan then charged the glass, broke through the partition accidentally, and fell into the box. Domi and the man grappled before two NHL officials broke up the fracas. Domi summed up the incident this way: "When fans get try to get involved in our work they gotta be ready to pay the price."
