This is what people will remember out of the 41st annual NYPD/NYFD charity hockey game: a huge brawl.

The score was tied at three when a fight between New York’s bravest and finest broke out on the middle of the ice at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Sunday. Though it was a charity game, the players didn’t hold back when it came to throwing off their gloves.

The NYPD eventually won the game 8-5, breaking a five-year winning streak by the NYFD.
