In a little more than a season in the NHL, Chicago Blackhawks winger Adam Burish has piled up a total of 15 fights, according to the folks at Hockeyfights.com. But earlier this week, Burish got to see how the other side lives when he worked as a security guard on the Jerry Springer Show.
So what do security guards do on Jerry Springer? Well, they break up fights. You have to love the irony here. Burish told the story over at his blog, which is hosted at the Chicago Sun-Times:
Two girls started slapping each other as hard as they could and when I got in the middle to break it up they each grabbed a hold of each other's hair. So I did what made sense, grabbed their hands and tried to pull their hands off the others hair. However, when I finally pulled one of the girl's hands away she didn't let go and pulled the others wig right off her head and then threw it into the crowd. I felt a little responsible for that one!
Overall the show was such a blast to be a part off. I was pleasantly surprised as to how many Blackhawks fans were in the audience. When I got on stage they started chanting things like, "We love hockey fights," and "Detroit Sucks!"
Well, I love hockey fights too. So here's a clip of what has to be Adam's best performance in his career thus far, an exciting draw with Byron Ritchie where the pair dropped the gloves before the refs had even dropped the puck:
