There was a fight at a playoff game in the New Brunswick Hockey league Saturday night at the Lord Beaverbrook Arena with video of it going viral. The difference is that in this fight, one of the players went over the glass to get at fans.

It apparently began with a penalty call and some heckling then the player went up into the stabnds to get at his tormenters.

Two police officers were already at the Arena and they called for backup as they moved in to break up the fight.  No charges have been laid but the police investigation is continuing. The League is also investigating.

The only way the city can appeal that much reduced property assessment on the Canaport LNG property is if the Irvings appeal first, according to CBC.

Councillor Gerry Lowe last week raised the possibility the city would appeal the massive cut in the property value by the provincial government…but because it was the province that cut the assessment the city can’t appeal. The Irving’s will be saving millions a year on property taxes.
