Alberta golf course fight involving ex-NHLer Tarnasky prompts investigation
RED DEER — Red Deer Minor Hockey says it is conducting an internal investigation after a video surfaced showing one of its coaches, former NHL player Nick Tarnasky, involved in a fight at a golf course.
The incident took place recently at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, just outside Red Deer, Alta.
In a video circulating online, Tarnasky is seen arguing with another man before the man rushes toward him. Tarnasky lifts the man and throws him into a pond. After the man gets back on his feet and re-engages, Tarnasky responds with a series of punches — shouting “bang” with each one — before throwing him a second time.
Comments about the pace of play appear to have sparked the confrontation, according to dialogue in the video.
