Gloves Are Off And on Their Way to P.G. to be Weighed...

By Ben Meisner

The "Hockey Enforcer Girls", as featured on the Enforcer's Web Site, their function is  
not yet clear.


The gloves to be used in the Battle of the Hockey Enforcers show are on their way to Prince George to be weighed.

George Winter of the Prince George Athletic Commission says he and others members of the commission are awaiting the arrival of a number of sets of gloves the hockey players will wear when they stage their hockey fights in this city. 

Winter says "Under section 82, of the Commission’s rules,  we must have the gloves before hand to enable us to weigh them, because they must be of a certain weight and that is the final hurdle holding up the fights."

What has become apparent is the fact that Prince George was a way, down on the list of cities that had been approached to hold the Hockey Enforcers Show. 

At the Winnipeg arena, 2100 seats had been sold before the hammer dropped; 

The Target Center in  Minneapolis also gave the promoters the boot in spite of the fact that they had sold 5,000 tickets the first day they were made available. 

Then there were the meetings from Massachusetts to California trying to secure an arena were the fights could be held, again no go. 

The promoter, Darryl Wolski of Brandon, recently told Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun," This is our last kick at the cat,"  Wolski is quoted as saying "it won’t be strike three” 

Wolski  is said to have told Frieson he has his hands on "a full-proof agreement"  which allows him to stage the event. 

Now he couldn’t get any takers in Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Boston and Montreal just to name a few places where he had knocked on doors. 

Prince George came into the mix as a city to hold the event when the connection was made with ex-Winnipegger Phil Beaulieu, who was a former Jets employee and now employed by Leisure Services. Wolski  is quoted as  saying Beaulieu told him he isn’t a particular fan of hockey fights, but he knows a hot ticket when he sees one, he is convinced this thing will sell. 

Wolski says he and his partners are in for over $ 1 million dollars in this thing. 

Originally, the name of the event was called "Gladiators" when it began in 2003. 

On the web site of the Hockey Enforcers there is a page dedicated to “The Enforcer Girls “. What function they will provide at the event is not known.
