A massive brawl broke out during a hockey game being played by kids on Saturday night in front of thousands of fans who were watching on.
The ‘Mites on Ice’ show at halftime of the game between Hershey Bears and Cleveland Monsters in the AHL descended into anarchy with kids of both teams flattening each other, dropping their fists and swinging haymakers.
Fans were stunned as they watched on from the stands at the Giant Center in Pennsylvania.
Some leapt to their seats and banged on the glass to encourage the wild scenes while others were simply on their feet in amazement at what was unfolding.
As two players from one side ganged up on one player from the other, kids from all over the ice raced over to get involved. At one stage, one kid even swings for his own teammate.
It saw scraps break out all over the ice and the astonishing footage went viral very quickly on social media on Saturday night.

‘On a busy hockey night, the most intense brawl comes during a Hershey Bears intermission youth game,’ one fan wrote as they shared the footage.
Another said: ‘This happened at the intermission of a professional hockey game in Pennsylvania tonight. Kids just trading bombs. Unloading on each other. I’ve never seen anything like it.’
A different fan joked that it was more entertaining than the Saturday night NFL playoff game between Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
There weren’t any referees in sight and it wasn’t immediately clear how the fight ended.
Most videos on social media lasted for around a minute and don’t show any real sign of any intervention from any officials.
And perhaps, as long as nobody was badly hurt, that was a good thing. It has made for one of the most incredible sporting videos any hockey fan has ever seen.
