Vernon Lakers/Penticton Knights Line Brawl:

Former Vernon Lakers defenceman/Assistant Coach Keith Chase drops the gloves with Penticton Knights forward Ivan Moore in a line brawl between the Vernon Lakers & Penticton Knights in the late 1980's.

Here is the line brawl from Sundyman Productions YouTube page,

Chase played parts of four seasons in Vernon from 1982-1985 before being traded to the Merritt Centennials during the 1984-85 season. Chase would return to Vernon after being traded back to the Lakers and played his final two seasons in Vernon from 1986-1988. After his junior hockey career ended, Chase joined the Vernon Lakers as an assistant coach from 1988-1991. In 94 games with the Lakers, Chase collected (3-goals-11-assists-12-points).

The Vernon Lakers were around from 1980-1995 before changing their name to the Vernon Vipers in 1995.

    Three of the biggest line brawls I can remember watching were in the 1989 Doyle Cup between the Vernon Lakers and Red Deer Rustlers, a regular season game between the Vernon Lakers & Merritt Centennials in the late 80s-early 90s and in the 1992-93 regular season between the Penticton Panthers and Vernon lakers.
