That's an OB.

That's an OB.

We all cover kind of different scopes within the same field. So obviously all eye related. The ophthalmologist is your medical doctor who specializes in ocular health. Optometrist is the eye doctor who does your eye health exams and refracts your prescription. And then the optician, I would compare it to like the pharmacist. So we will edge lenses or fit contact lenses.

An ophthalmologist would, yes.

Ophthalmologist, yeah. Yeah, it's spelled with a T-H, but I usually drop the H. Yeah, yeah. Maybe it's a Canadian-American thing. I know you're right.

This did happen in Canada. The story took place late 2012. I'm in Manitoba. So if you follow hockey or know anything about the NHL, we earned back our NHL team, the Winnipeg Jets, in 2011.

In the late 90s, the Jets were moved to Arizona. It's a small market here. It's tough to support the teams. So this all started when my husband at the time and I bought a new truck and the dealership that we purchased it from had a promotion to be entered to win a trip to the Super Bowl. Not a huge football fan, but that sounded really cool.

And depending who you ask, we were robbed of those tickets. Oh, I would describe it as there was some shady going on with the draw. But ultimately what happened was the dealership as a we're so sorry about that gave us two of their corporate tickets to a Winnipeg Jets hockey game. Oh, that's weird. Okay.

I don't know what happened exactly, but there was a big to do about it. We get these tickets to go to a hockey game. At that point, it was a very hot ticket. And I was about six or seven months pregnant at the time. So we were really excited for a night out before the baby comes. We had great seats. And there were a couple of really strong looking men that were sitting behind us.

Funny that you had mentioned the Leafs because it was Winnipeg versus Toronto. These three or four guys were in Leafs jerseys.

Is that a mean team?

Speaking for myself, I think that's very fair. I don't know that I'm quite comfortable speaking for all Canadians.

They were rowdy. They were having a really good time, had a couple drinks, but they were not bothering anybody. We also had noticed that sitting beside us were a couple of small, slender, really young guys. They just didn't really appear to be interested in the game at all. all. They didn't spend a lot of time in their seats. They would come and go really frequently.

Towards the end of the game, the Jets are down by one goal and you can just feel that energy. So on the ice, the fans are really into the game. There was a lot of tension. The two younger guys that had been sitting beside us finally returned for probably the last five to 10 minutes of the game.

In Canada?

In the last couple of minutes, these two guys beside us would turn around and just were aggressively chirping at these big Maple Leaf fans standing behind us who would often say things like, we're just cheering for our team. They were very intentional about not provoking.

They were doing their best.

The tension kept building until the buzzer went. And within a couple of seconds, one of the younger guys sitting beside us pushed the closest guy to him that was in the row behind. So they pushed up.

These guys sitting behind us, I don't think people typically pick fights with them. They weren't going to back down from that fight.

At that point, all hell broke loose. There was pushing and shoving, which turned into fists and boots. One of the people beside us ended up getting drop kicked down the stadium seating. Oh, boy. It was one of the most intense and violent scenes I've ever seen in my entire life.

He was between me and them. He had his back to me. Something that I think is of note is that I am not a violent person. I'm a little bit smug in the fact that I've never been involved in a fistfight or physical altercation with a stranger or really anyone.

No, he doesn't share that. The opportunity has literally landed in his lap.

That's true. This became a crowd brawl. There was probably over a dozen people. Oh, my God. Against these three Leafs fans. Wait, they were all against. Oh, no.

That is very bad. They were holding their own. And so when I talked to my ex-husband about this, he said, you know, I was prepared to jump in and help if they needed it. I don't think they needed it. One of them had lost their balance, fell forward onto our seats below them, and his arms were pinned under his body.

And I watched this brute of a man wiggle out of his jersey with the agility of a gymnast. Oh, my God. Stand up, now shirtless.

And continue throwing punches.

And continue throwing punches.

Oh, my God. A brawl in this situation is really uncomfortable to me. And especially because I was pregnant, I felt really defenseless. I wasn't able to hold off a crowd of angry men who were fighting.

So where we were sitting was in a section next to the entrance where the Zamboni gets onto the ice. There was only one way in and out of our section, which was through this brawl of people. I tried to remind my husband at the time very gently by putting my hands on his arms, I'm still here. Please think of me and your unborn child in your decision-making from here on out.

And he showed a lot of great restraint. He ended up not throwing a single punch, did not get involved. There was blood. There was people whose foreheads had gashes opened. It was really gruesome. Finally, a security officer arrives to our section and just goes, I don't have a radio. Yeah.

I don't get paid enough for this.

I don't get paid enough for this.

Eventually, police arrived and broke up the fight. They hauled off the guys that they thought were responsible. We got out of there unscathed, which was really nothing short of a miracle. Like any true proud Canadian, when the adrenaline wore off, I wrote a strongly worded letter to the venue. And I let them know that I just thought it had been mishandled. And I didn't hear a thing.

I thought maybe I would get an apology or maybe I'd be lucky and get tickets to some other event. Some free shit.

couple months later, I received a phone call from our local RCMP officer who just confirmed that I was home and let me know he was going to be paying me a visit that day. He served me with a subpoena. So my name got brought into this case because I had emailed

Before we left, we actually did pull aside some of the employees at the venue and said, you've got the wrong guys. So I wasn't thrilled to be subpoenaed in this trial. The Leafs fans in this case had been charged with assault. Oh, my God. Ultimately, I did receive a phone call from the prosecutor who when they interviewed me and I said, I'm probably not your girl.

So my understanding is that they did settle out of court, but I was not asked to show up.

I feel very fortunate. That baby that was in my belly is now... an 11 year old hockey loving kiddo. He is a goalie. So he's delightfully weird. And we love listening to armchair expert. We listen in the car when we're on long drives. And I feel like I'm raising the next generation of armchairs. He told me last night, he goes, mom, can you tell them my favorite episode was with Mark Rober?

These are actually contact lens fit sets. I'm at work, so I'm tucked away in the back office. Are you an ophthalmologist? I'm an optician, but I work in an optometric clinic where we have an optometrist.
