Devastating one-punch KO in minor league hockey fight (Video)

Guillaume Coudé is a center for the Sorel-Tracy Eperviers in the LNAHLigue Nord-Américaine de Hockey, a.k.a. that goon league.

His team faced the Cornwall River Kings last Friday, which meant yet another chance for old rivals Francis Lessard (Cornwall) and Jon Mirasty (Sorel-Tracy) to drop the gloves twice in one game.  But it was Coudé that stole the show with a one-punch KO of Dylan Garrioch of Cornwall.

He skated around waving his right hand, mesmerizing Garrioch before exploding with his left hand. Garrioch crumpled to the ice. Coudé saluted the raucous crowd and celebrated the win, as trainers came out to tend to Garrioch.

If Dylan Garrioch’s name is familiar, it’s because the Toronto Sun chronicled his decision to visit the same doctors that Sidney Crosby visited for his concussion symptoms back in 2011. Garrioch, who had dozens of fights in the QMJHL, “realized that his memory wasn't as good as it used to be and that he was suffering from speech problems and headaches more frequently.”

Three years later, and his face is a punching bag in North America’s home for wayward goons. Good work if you can get it, one supposes.
