NHL

A fan at the Anaheim Ducks game on Friday night appeared to be knocked completely unconscious during a wild brawl ... and now, cops say they've launched an investigation into the matter.

The fight broke out as the Ducks took on the Winnipeg Jets at the Honda Center ... when a group of fans who were reppin' opposite teams got into it with each other right in the middle of a concourse.

You can see in video from the scene ... a man in a Jacob Trouba Jets jersey broke off from the squabble and began tussling with a guy in purple Ducks jersey.

During their ensuing wrestling match, the Winnipeg fan slammed the Anaheim supporter to the tile floor using a leg takedown maneuver ... appearing to leave the man KO'ed.

The guy lay motionless for several moments ... before he rolled over in what seemed to be a heap of pain.

The Anaheim Police Dept. said in a statement to TMZ Sports officers were dispatched to the area after the tilt had gone down ... and one person was transported to the hospital with a head injury.

"The investigation is ongoing," a spokesperson for the department said, "and no arrests have been made."

Brooke Hogan is a married woman ... and has been so for over a year!!

Sources close to Brooke tell TMZ ... she tied the knot with ice hockey player Steven Oleksy June 8, 2022, in a private ceremony in Orlando, FL ... and we can also share the first-look image of the pair shortly after being pronounced husband and wife.

Brooke looks stunning in bridal white ... walking away from the altar hand-in-hand with her suited and booted new husband.

We're told it was only the 2 of them during the ceremony ... though earlier this month, they had a reception with Steven's side of the family in Michigan to celebrate.

Steven -- a professional ice hockey defenseman who played for the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins -- slid into Brooke's heart after they met through mutual friends.

It's been a good ol' time lately for Brooke ... who's also doing great on the career front ... running her own Nashville-based interior design firm, BB Designs by Brooke.

She's also been working on new music ... releasing a new single this month called "Don't Know It Yet."

¡¡¡Brooke Hogan es una mujer casada y lo ha sido durante más de un año!!!

Fuentes cercanas a Brooke le dicen a TMZ que ató el nudo con el jugador de hockey sobre hielo Steven Oleksy el 8 de junio de 2022, en una ceremonia privada en Orlando, Florida y también podemos compartir la primera imagen de la pareja poco después de ser declarados marido y mujer.

Brooke se ve impresionante en su vestido blanco, mientras se aleja del altar de la mano de su marido, todo elegante de traje y botas.

Nos dicen que solo estuvieron ellos 2 en la ceremonia, aunque a principios de este mes, tuvieron una recepción con la familia de Steven en Michigan para celebrar.

Steven, un defensa profesional de hockey sobre hielo que jugó para los Washington Capitals y los Pittsburgh Penguins, se robó el corazón de Brooke después de que se conocieran a través de amigos en común.

Ha sido un buen tiempo para Brooke últimamente, quien también lo está haciendo muy bien en lo profesional, con la gestión de su propia empresa de diseño de interiores, BB Designs by Brooke, con sede en Nashville.

También ha estado trabajando en nueva música, con el lanzamiento de un nuevo single este mes llamado "Don't Know It Yet".

The most popular person at the Maple Leafs game Wednesday night wasn't Auston Matthews or Mitch Marner ... no, the guy who appeared to get the most love from hockey fans was none other than Justin Bieber!!

The "Ghost" crooner pulled up to Scotiabank Arena in Toronto with his wife, Hailey, to see his beloved Leafs take on the Ottawa Senators -- and when the crowd realized he was in attendance, it went crazy.

Bieber and his wife were shown on the jumbotron while they were in their suite seats -- and a loud roar ensued. Both the pop star and Hailey then smiled big and gave a wave.

Will Arnett was there, too -- and the reception he got wasn't shabby either!!

During one of the intermissions, the Leafs paid tribute to Bieber -- as their mascot and a dance team full of talented kids performed choreography to his biggest hits.

Sadly for JB, the night ended with a bit of whimper -- as the Leafs fell to the Senators, 4-2.

La persona más popular en el juego de los Maple Leafs el miércoles por la noche no fue Auston Matthews o Mitch Marner. No, el chico que recibió más cariño de los aficionados del hockey, ¡¡¡no fue otro que Justin Bieber!!!

El cantante de "Ghost" llegó al Scotiabank Arena en Toronto con su esposa Hailey para ver a sus queridos Leafs contra los Ottawa Senators, y cuando la multitud se dio cuenta de que estaba presente, se volvió loca.

Bieber y su esposa aparecieron en la pantalla gigante mientras estaban en sus asientos de la suite y la multitud enloqueció en un rugido. Luego, tanto la estrella del pop como Hailey sonrieron a lo grande y saludaron.

Will Arnett también estuvo allí y el recibimiento que le dieron tampoco estuvo nada mal.

Durante uno de los intermedios, los Leafs rindieron homenaje a Bieber, mientras su mascota y un equipo de baile lleno de niños realizaron coreografías con sus mayores éxitos.

Lamentablemente para Justin Bieber, la noche terminó con algunos lamentos, ya que los Leafs cayeron ante los Senators por 4-2.

New York Rangers winger Barclay Goodrow is gonna need an emergency trip to the dentist chair this week ... and it's all 'cause he took a puck straight to the mouth during a game Tuesday night.

Goodrow was attempting to chase down the puck during the first period of NY's tilt with the Senators in Ottawa ... when his teammate, K'Andre Miller, accidentally nailed him in the face with a keep-in attempt.

Goodrow immediately crumpled to the ice in pain ... sliding several feet before he stopped and spit out a bloody tooth.

The 30-year-old two-time Stanley Cup winner then rushed to the locker room ... and, despite being an tough-as-nails NHL player, he did not return to action.

After the game -- which the Rangers lost 6-2 without Goodrow -- head coach Peter Laviolette said his player sustained an "upper-body" injury and he's still under evaluation.

"Listen, that happens," the coach told reporters. "Certainly we don't like to see that, he's an important part of our team for a lot of different reasons."

Someone must've had beans before the Tampa Bay Lightning's shutout win over the Dallas Stars on Monday ... 'cause star goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy's postgame interview was interrupted by a big fart!!

The hilarious sequence was captured on video ... when the 29-year-old Russian athlete was asked in the locker room about bouncing back from an 8-1 loss to the same team just two days prior.

Vasilevskiy started to give his earnest response to the inquiry ... but as he paused to collect his thoughts, one of his teammates (we're assuming) squeaked out a toot.

Naturally, Vasilevskiy couldn't help but giggle over the whole thing ... and all the reporters joined in on the laugh.

"Uhh ... what was the question??" Vasilevskiy said with a smirk before trying to get back on track.

Eventually, the keeper returned to the topic at hand ... breaking down his stellar night with 25 saves on 25 shots on goal.

It hasn't been too stinky of a season for the Lightning -- they're currently 11-10-5 on the campaign.

Connor Bedard is now weighing in on the unfounded rumors that his former teammate, Corey Perry, slept with his mom ... and he was adamant on Friday they're straight up "BS."

The Blackhawks superstar didn't mince words when a reporter asked him about the crass gossip that's surrounded Chicago's hockey team for the past few days ahead of their Saturday game against the Jets in Winnipeg.

"It's just a bunch of BS on the internet," Bedard said, before admitting, "It's of course been an effect on myself and my family."

"And that's not fair," he continued, according to Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope. "But it's out of our control. It's all just fake, made-up stuff."

Bedard is now the third person to deny the baseless allegations that first formulated on X late last month ... joining Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson and Perry himself.

It seems he'll likely be the last, too, because according to hockey reporter Jacob Stoller, Bedard "became annoyed as the questions" about the Perry rumors continued during his Friday meeting with the media.

"I don't need to answer anymore questions about this stuff," Bedard said.

Perry was cut by the Blackhawks on Tuesday -- and while a specific reason for his departure was never given by the team ... it reportedly all had to do with an "alcohol-infused incident" with team staffers and corporate sponsors.

In a statement Perry released on Thursday, the 38-year-old apologized for his "inappropriate and wrong" behavior.

Ex-Chicago Blackhawks player Corey Perry is breaking his silence ... apologizing for his actions and adamantly denying the reason he got kicked off the team had anything to do with Connor Bedard's mother.

The 38-year-old Canadian had his contract terminated earlier this week ... after the team said he violated the Blackhawks' internal policies over "conduct that is unacceptable."

The move came days after folks on social media spread a rumor that Perry hooked up with Bedard's mom, Melanie ... and the chatter got so loud, Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson had to address the "wildly inaccurate" and "disgusting" claims.

Now, Perry is also speaking out on the situation ... and he, too, is confronting the false narrative head-on.

"As a result of my actions, there has been speculation and rumors," Perry said in a statement. "I am sickened by the impact this has had on others, and I want to make it clear that in no way did this situation involve any of my teammates or their families."

"Most importantly, I want to directly apologize to those who have been negatively affected and I am sorry for the additional impact to others it has created. My behavior was inappropriate and wrong."

While details surrounding the specific incident have not been disclosed, Perry was reportedly involved in an "alcohol-infused incident" with team staffers and corporate sponsors prior to getting cut.

Perry said he is now seeking mental health and alcohol treatment ... in hopes he doesn't repeat his actions moving forward.

"I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career," he added.

Chicago Blackhawks GM Kyle Davidson addressed the wild rumors surrounding Corey Perry shortly after he was kicked off the team ... saying the winger's contract termination had nothing to do with superstar Connor Bedard's mother.

Perry was placed on unconditional waivers following an internal investigation on Tuesday ... in which the team determined he "engaged in conduct that is unacceptable" and violated the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies.

The move came on the heels of speculation Perry was involved in a personal relationship with Bedard's mom, Melanie ... and while the talk didn't hold much weight, many ran with it on social media.

Davidson cleared the air after the team washed its hands of Perry ... and even though he did not mention Bedard by name, it's clear that's what he was addressing.

"This does not involve any players or their families and anything that suggests otherwise or anyone that suggests otherwise is wildly inaccurate and, frankly, it's disgusting," Davidson said.

"This has been a tough situation and I understand you wanted answers. It was important that we took all the necessary steps before sharing more. I hope you understand that I may not be able to answer everything today, but I am going to be as open and honest as I can be given the situation and out of respect for those involved."

Davidson referred to the nature of Perry's violation as a "workplace matter."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are getting back to their North American roots ... making a surprise trip to Canada's British Columbia to pump up the crowd at a Vancouver Canucks game.

The Duke of Sussex dropped the ceremonial first puck before the NHL action ... following in the footsteps of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, who did the same honors 21 years earlier.

Harry and Megs were twinning in their all-black ensemble as they kicked back in a luxury suite during the game -- but they were quick to jump up and cheer when the home team scored a goal ... and danced to a little Simple Minds 80s jam.

Harry didn't quite pull-off the white man's overbite, but came dangerously close as he celebrated the Canucks' big win.

Remember, the Duke and Duchess were locals ... living on Vancouver Island immediately after the Megxit in 2019, before flying south to put down roots in SoCal.

They're back in Canada to promote Harry's Invictus Games, which will be held in Vancouver and Whistler in February 2025.

Meghan Markle y el Príncipe Harry están volviendo a sus raíces norteamericanas, haciendo un viaje sorpresa a la Columbia Británica de Canadá para sorprender a la multitud en un partido de los Vancouver Canucks.

El duque de Sussex dejó caer el primer disco ceremonial antes de la acción de la NHL siguiendo los pasos de su abuela, la reina Isabel, que hizo los mismos honores 21 años antes.

Harry y Meg estaban combinados totalmente de negro, se relajaron en una suite de lujo durante el juego y se apresuraron a saltar y animar cuando el equipo local anotó un gol. Incluso bailaron un poco de Simple Minds (todo muy 80s).

Harry no llegó a la euforia total, pero se acercó peligrosamente mientras celebraba la gran victoria de los Canucks.

Recordemos que el duque y la duquesa eran locales, ya que viven en la isla de Vancouver inmediatamente después de la Megxit en 2019, antes de volar al sur para echar raíces en SoCal.

Están de vuelta en Canadá para promover los Juegos Invictus de Harry que se celebrarán en Vancouver y Whistler en febrero de 2025.

El ex prometido de Savannah Chrisley, Nic Kerdiles, tenía alcohol en su sistema cuando murió a principios de este año luego de un fatal accidente de motocicleta, esto de acuerdo con el médico forense.

De acuerdo con el informe de la autopsia, obtenido por TMZ, las autoridades de Nashville encontraron evidencia de etanol en el torrente sanguíneo de Kerdiles después de las pruebas de toxicología y estiman que su BAC es de alrededor de 0.124, muy por encima del límite legal.

Los funcionarios señalan el cuerpo de Kerdiles quedó bastante golpeado como resultado del accidente; incluyendo múltiples huesos rotos, contusiones en el cerebro y otros daños. El forense determinó que la causa de la muerte fueron múltiples lesiones traumáticas contundentes, por lo que el accidente fue accidental. Radar Online fue el primero en informar de la noticia.

TMZ lo dijo primero, Kerdiles  —un ex jugador de la NHL para los Patos de Anaheim— chocó con un coche mientras viajaba a altas horas de la noche un fin de semana en septiembre, cuando la policía dice que voló más allá de una señal de stop y golpeó el lado de un cruce de BMW.

Fue una tragedia absoluta, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta su última foto oficial en redes sociales que, literalmente, lo mostraba montando su moto y etiquetándose a sí mismo como un "Night rider".

Savannah, que había estado comprometida con Nic entre 2018 y 2020, estaba devastada por la noticia y publicó un homenaje a Nic, escribiendo: "El cielo ganó el ángel más hermoso hoy, te extraño y te amo", mientras agregaba: "Te amamos mucho y no puedo esperar a andar en bicicleta contigo por las playas del cielo algún día".

Antes de que terminaran su relación, Nic había aparecido en el programa de su familia, "Chrisley Knows Best", y su propuesta a ella fue capturada en cámara.

Savannah Chrisley's ex-fiancé, Nic Kerdiles, had alcohol in his system when he died earlier this year after a fatal motorcycle crash ... this according to the medical examiner.

According to the autopsy report, obtained by TMZ, the ME in Nashville found evidence of ethanol in Kerdiles' bloodstream after toxicology tests were done ... and they estimate his BAC at about 0.124, well over the legal limit.

Officials note Kerdiles' body was pretty banged up as a result of the accident -- including multiple broken bones, bruising of the brain and other abrasions. The Medical Examiner found the cause of death to be multiple blunt traumatic injuries ... ruling it as accidental. Radar Online was the first to report the news.

TMZ broke the story ... Kerdiles -- a former NHL player for the Anaheim Ducks -- collided with a car while riding late at night one weekend back in September, when cops say he blew past a stop sign and struck the side of a crossing BMW.

It was an absolute tragedy, especially considering his last official photo on social media -- which literally showed him riding his bike, and labeling himself a "Night rider."

Savannah, who'd been engaged to Nic between 2018 and 2020, was devastated by the news ... and posted a tribute to Nic in the aftermath, writing -- "Heaven gained the most beautiful angel today ... I miss you and I love you," while adding, "We loved hard ... and I can't wait to ride bikes with you along the beaches of heaven one day."

Before they ended their relationship, Nic had been featured on her family's show, "Chrisley Knows Best" ... and his proposal to her was even captured on camera.

La policía de Inglaterra dice que ha puesto a un hombre en custodia esta semana, luego de que afirman que el hombre tenía una conexión con la muerte del ex jugador de la NHL Adam Johnson.

Según la policía de South Yorkshire, el hombre fue arrestado bajo sospecha de homicidio involuntario el martes, 17 días después de la trágica muerte de Johnson a causa de las heridas que sufrió cuando el patín de Matt Petgrave le cortó en el cuello durante un partido de la Elite Ice Hockey League.

Al anunciar la detención, la policía no dijo si Petgrave era el hombre que tenían en custodia

"Nuestra investigación se inició inmediatamente después de la tragedia y hemos estado llevando a cabo extensas investigaciones desde entonces para reconstruir los acontecimientos que condujeron a la pérdida de Adán en estas circunstancias sin precedentes". El detective superintendente en jefe Becs Horsfall dijo de la detención en un comunicado.

"Hemos hablado con expertos altamente especializados en su campo para que nos ayuden y seguimos colaborando estrechamente con el departamento de salud y seguridad del Ayuntamiento de Sheffield que está apoyando nuestra investigación en curso".

Johnson jugaba en Inglaterra con los Nottingham Panthers contra los Sheffield Steelers cuando ocurrió la tragedia.

Video de la arena mostró el momento en que Johnson estaba cruzando la línea azul, Petgrave pateó su patín en el aire y cortó al ex centro de los Pittsburgh Penguins en la garganta. La sangre se derramó inmediatamente sobre el hielo y Johnson fue llevado al hospital para recibir tratamiento de emergencia. Lamentablemente, sucumbió a sus heridas.

La policía reveló el martes que "un examen post-mortem confirmó que murió como resultado de una lesión fatal en el cuello".

"La muerte de Adam ha conmocionado a muchas comunidades, desde nuestros residentes locales aquí en Sheffield hasta los aficionados al hockey sobre hielo de todo el mundo", dijo Horsfall. "Sabemos que estas comunidades esperan que llevemos esta investigación con la misma profesionalidad, imparcialidad y sensibilidad que cualquier otra y le pedimos a los miembros del público que se abstengan de hacer comentarios y especulaciones que puedan entorpecer este proceso. Nuestros pensamientos están con todos los afectados por este devastador incidente mientras continúan las investigaciones".

Los Panthers, por su parte, habían calificado inicialmente la muerte de Johnson de "accidente extraño".

Cops in England say they have placed a man in custody this week ... after they claim the guy had a connection to the death of ex-NHL player Adam Johnson.

According to South Yorkshire Police ... the man was arrested on suspicion of manslaughter on Tuesday -- 17 days after Johnson tragically died from injuries he suffered when Matt Petgrave's skate slashed him in the neck during an Elite Ice Hockey League game.

In announcing the arrest, cops did not say if Petgrave was the man they had in custody.

"Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances," SYP detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said of the arrest in a statement.

"We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation."

Johnson was playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers in England when the tragedy happened.

Video from the arena showed as Johnson was crossing the blueline, Petgrave kicked his skate into the air ... and clipped the former Pittsburgh Penguins center in the throat. Blood immediately poured onto the ice -- and while Johnson was rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

Cops revealed Tuesday "a post-mortem examination confirmed he died as a result of a fatal neck injury."

"Adam's death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world," Horsfall said. "We know these communities will expect us to handle this investigation with the same professionalism, fairness and sensitivity as any other and request that members of the public refrain from comment and speculation which could hinder this process. Our thoughts remain with all affected by this devastating incident as enquiries continue."

The Panthers, meanwhile, had initially called Johnson's death "a freak accident."
