I had to look him up as the name doesn't ring a bell and I don't think I've seen him fight before. His 590pims in one season is a pretty impressive feat.

It's interesting that he played one game for Providence in his final pro season. Only game he played that year, took 8pims and never played pro again.

Have a look at the OHL stats during his 1st yr in Niagara Falls - the OHL was quite the gong show back then.
Back in those days if there was a score difference of say 3 or more in the 3rd period, most nights it would take almost on hour to played the 3rd period. I don't miss those days - it was ridiculous. The PIM totals for a 66 (at the time) game league for some guys is something else. Take a look at the league leaders for PIMs in the late '80s into early '90s for the OHL (and the Q and W)...... wonder how many CTE cases these evolved into.
Also, and I kind remember where I read it (one of the books I read I am sure..) but their coach Bill Laforge was quite the crazy guy too. He supposedly had a red/green light on the team bus and in their home dressing room - red meant no fighting, green meant fight all night.....something along those lines. His teams were mostly over the top (look at the 87-88 Hamilton Steelhawks - 10 guys over 100 PIMs, plus one guy at 96) stupidity a lot of night, despite having some pretty good players.

Funny enough, he’s fighting Eric Boulton’s son.
Their dads were both in the IHL for fractions of the 1997-98 and 1998-99 seasons. Not a lot of games, but given their eye-popping PIMs there’s a good chance they fought each other if they were ever on the ice together.
I’m sure it’s happened before at some point, but I’ve never heard of a second-generation fight like this.

I remember seeing Brendan Lemieux get the better of Josh Manson a few years ago and thought to myself that Dave can't be happy seeing his son lose to Claude's boy. Not sure if the Dad's ever fought though.

I forget who it was (Manson, Lowry? Maybe someone else) but in one of his most recent playing years, Iginla fought the son of someone he dropped the gloves with way back...all this stuff makes me feel old but fun to see.
