Former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky was involved in a brutal golf-course fight where he punched a rival several times and pushed him into a lake last week.
The confrontation between Tarnasky and his friends and the rival group is already hated by the time the video starts, with the former Florida Panther appearing to be upset with how long the opposing group is taking to play.
Canadian police responded to report of an intoxicated person instigating fights at Alberta Springs Golf Resort in Red Deer, which appears to be the person taking exception with Tarnasky.
By the time police arrived, the person in question was gone, with no arrests or further investigation taking place, per TMZ. The alleged drunk Canadian endured quite a lot before leaving the property.
In what could have been a scene out of the show ‘Letterkenny’ with several Canadians yelling at each other before fighting, Tarnasky and the rival jaw at each other for a minute before the former NHLer gets charged at.
The next time we see the duo fighting, Tarnasky has chucked his opponent into a lake just off the hole both groups wanted to play.

Tarnasky threw his rival into a lake, punched him five times, and tossed him to the ground
The unidentified rival golfer crawls out of the water to challenge Tarnasky to more of a fight, with his possibly also drunk friend trying to stop the exchange.
Tarnasky, 40, lands five solid punches to his rival’s head and shoves him to the ground twice before he reportedly drunken golfer walks back up wanting to brawl more.
The final move of the fight then takes place with Tarnasky tossing the rival golfer several feet towards the water.
At that point, the rival golfer’s friend intervenes and stops the brawl, appearing to get his friend back into a golf cart and drive away.
The former NHLer has not played in the league since 2010 and spent more time in the American Hockey League. In 486 AHL games, he has 881 penalty minutes.
Safe to say those fighting skills came in handy last Friday against an inferior opponent.
