Arizona Coyotes 2015-2016 Season Fights Part 1
By Alex Temes
The Arizona Coyotes fought 21 times during last season. Some of them were wrestling matches, others weren’t very pretty, but some showed how tight the team really is.
Within the first twenty minutes of the 2015-2016 season, the Arizona Coyotes acquired a fighting major and within their last sixty minutes of the season, they sealed it off with another 5-minute major.
The Arizona Coyotes have always been a gritty, North-South team. Over the past 20 season, the Coyotes have fielded some pretty mean rosters.
During the early 2000’s, the then Phoenix Coyotes had a big brawler by the name of Georges Laraque. Years later, the Coyotes were led in fights by none other than the best fighter and twitter personality of the last ten years; Paul Bissonnette.

But last season featured a different level of fight.
That roster had the fighting Coyotes stalwarts of Kyle Chipchura and Shane Doan but also set of new faces. Max Domi and Anthony Duclair may be known for their goals, but they are some of the feistiest rookies around.
Moreover, they brought in outside help to tune up other teams with Brad Richardson and based-god, king of every All-Star game ever again John Scott.
So, as you could expect, Arizona racked up a number fighting majors. They added up to over 100 minutes and Howlin’ Hockey is reviewing every single brawl during our Fight Card Review for the 2015-2016 season.
First up happens to be a new guy who has some pretty slippery gloves because they came off pretty early.
