That’s when tempers boiled over, as a line brawl erupted between the Hounds and Tigers that saw four players on each side being handed game misconducts with 6:26 left in the contest.

Ryley Manz and Hall potted goals over the final two and a half minutes to remove any doubt, clinching the 9-1 victory for Medicine Hat.

Schlosser led the field with four points for the Hounds in the win, followed by Hall, Kasdorf, and Manz who all finished the game with three points each.

As for Hounds netminder Teron Funk, he only allowed one goal on 24 shots against to move his record on the season to 8-1 through 11 games.

Sitting atop the South Conference with a 14-4-4 record, the Hounds are four points clear of the Lethbridge Hurricane Hounds for first place with 32 points.

Back home for a pair of games next weekend at the Kinplex, Medicine Hat will host Lethbridge on Saturday at 4:45 pm before facing the Wheatland Chiefs at 2:00 pm on Sunday.
