    How many of you remember the Storm/Force Brawl that took place ten years ago tonight, on March 19, 2005?

    I was watching on TV. I don't know how you stayed so calm while all hell was breaking loose. Was that former Wave player David Moxom with you in the broadcast booth?

    Mox was normally my partner that season, but it was Yaro Dachniwsky that night.

    I got lucky - as I mention in the post - that the Malice at the Palace had happened four months prior. The one thing that kept going through my head was, "Just describe, add to the pictures where you can, but don't lose your mind*."




    *Obviously, that wouldn't happen until many years later.

    Remember? I had brought a group a boy scouts to that match and some of their parents STILL ask me "remember that indoor soccer game we went to? That was wild!" I tried to talk them down a little after the match "yes, but they are not all like that".

    Honourable mention to Storm Assistant Coach Oscar Albuquerque who I remember was EVERYWHERE on that field trying to contain his players and get a little control. You see him a few times in this clip, but I remember he was out on the field running into the middle of the fray, stepping in between battling players, and trying to separate.

    Thanks for the memories.

    I just watched this, and had seen it before in a different version. Kuedos to you for editing it with all the chippy fouls leading up to the brawl. It was building! I admittedly was on a hiatus for a few years after the Kicks were gone so I did not follow for a few years...thanks for posting!
