Former NHL player Nick Tarnasky is trending across social media platforms following a physical altercation on a Canadian golf course engaging with a visibly drunk man who appeared to provoke the former enforcer.
The viral clip shows Tarnasky warning the man multiple times to walk away before things turn violent and thus shows a visibly drunk man getting beaten up with punches and almost falling into a pond on the golf course.
Social media users identified the man throwing the punches as Nick Tarnasky.
Police officials in Canada told TMZ Sports that the incident took place at around 5:47 PM (local time) on July 4 at the Alberta Springs Golf Course in Red Deer.
After receiving reports of an intoxicated person instigating fights, officers responded to the matter immediately. By the time they reached the scene, the suspect left the venue. No arrests were made.
Tarnasky played five seasons in the NHL between 2005 and 2010. Tarnasky racked up 297 penalty minutes in 245 games, while representing sides like Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers.
Tarnasky was never shy about dropping the gloves and went head-to-head with some of the league’s toughest names, including Milan Lucic and Chris McGrattan.
