So, a strange tweet from the York Regional Police account made the rounds this morning, when two men in Richmond Hill, Ontario were sent to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries after fighting with hockey sticks. One of the two men was arrested.

Ironically, the fight occurred on a street called... Crosby Avenue.

FIGHT - Officers en route to a residence in the area of Crosby Ave / Newkirk Dr, Richmond Hill for a report of two people fighting with hockey sticks.

So, obviously, don’t do anything like this!

Still, the Canadiana of this incident is too strong, and the replies to the tweet on Twitter are a madhouse. People got so many jokes off.

Sorry, but this is just too Canadian.

If the officers stop at Tim’s on the way to the call and also call in a Mountie, it would be even better. Haha!

2 minutes each for high sticking.5 minute major if there was any blood.Would be a true reflection of the Canadian judicial system and its propensity toward leniency when sentencing offenders.

Hopefully it's not the IIHF refs overseeing this one. These two might get kicked out of Richmond Hill.
