Fans of the Iowa Wild, the AHL affiliate of the Minnesota Wild, got a rare and special treat on Saturday, a goalie fight!
One of their young prospects, goaltender Steve Michalek, made his American Hockey League debut on Saturday and it's one that fans in the audience will likely remember for a long time. Michalek completed what is already being called the Michalek hat trick by some fans, recording his first win, in his first start, and earning his first fight in the process.
The best part of course was that Michalek fought goalie on goalie and if we're being perfectly honest here every hockey fan loves to watch to goaltenders go to war.
