Because I’ve never heard of Bill O’Brien, the New England Black Wolves, or Rochester’s Stephen Keogh, I’m just going to assume this fight took place during the LAX Super Bowl. Why? Because I don’t know anything about either of these two teams, and thinking this all took place during their ‘Super Bowl’ with the stakes at their highest makes it that much better for me.
Here’s a GIF to whet your appetite, but the video’s below and it has a LOT more brawling:
In a match between the New England Black Wolves vs. the Rochester Knighthawks, Black Wolves enforcer Bill O’Brien got into it with Rochester forward Stephen Keogh, and uppercutted the living daylights out of him.
And I have SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Before you all call me out for not being a bro, just know that growing up in the state of Florida LAX was virtually nonexistent. I never once heard of a school on the Gulf Coast offering LAX as a sport, but things might have changed by now. In place of LAX we had crew/rowing, and that was our bro sport outside of football.
So my questions are these: Is uppercutting this shit out of an employee normal in a lacrosse match the same way that it is in hockey? Or is this an extraordinarily rare fight? Because holy shit was that awesome, and I suddenly want to watch more LAX.
Is the primary role of an ‘enforcer’ the exact same as it is in hockey?….I feel I must apologize again for my ignorance here, but like I said, we just didn’t grow up with it down in Florida. When you bros were out playing lacrosse we were out on our boats wakeboarding, just completely different lifestyles. So any answer you can provide me down below would be appreciated.
