There have been many fights throughout the history of the game that have happened between unexpected combatants. Even former Toronto Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard has found his way into surprising altercations. He wasn’t shy to impose his will, especially if it meant lining his own pockets.
The Toronto Maple Leafs Owner famously used an ax to threaten the Hockey Night in Canada′s president, Ted Hough. He told Hough that he’d cut the television production cables and kill the broadcast of the upcoming game unless new lighting was paid for. Ballard also trapped Hough in a sauna to extort an extra million dollars for TV rights.
