Golf-course brawl involving ex-Hamilton Bulldogs enforcer goes wild on social media
When Nick Tarnasky was playing for the Hamilton Bulldogs a little over a decade ago, other players were wise not to tangle with him. The same advice should probably apply on the golf course. A video that appears to show the 40-year-old, one-time Dog pummeling another golfer who charged at him during an argument about slow play on an Alberta course – then pushing him into a pond and finally tossing him through the air, all while offering his own sound effects – has had millions of social media views over the past few days. (Warning: the video is laced with profanity and violence.) Can you imagine running your mouth at the golf course only to get fed by former NHLer Nick Tarnasky 😂 The Bangs were straight out of the WWE and the guy was warned. Mess with the bull you get the horns! Hockey players are the best Tarnasky was the wrong guy to challenge to some on-course fisticuffs. According to , the six-foot-two, 230-pound Albertan had 168 fights in the NHL and AHL. When he arrived in Hamilton at the start of the 2013 season, he described his previous year with the Rochester Americans as '16 goals, 17 fights.' During his one year with the Bulldogs, he led the team with 144 penalty minutes in 76 games. That included 14 tilts. The golf course brawl was reported to RCMP, who concluded their investigation without laying charges, according to a report by CBC.

Lacrosse team Toronto Rock returning to Hamilton, to play at newly renamed TD Coliseum
Social Sharing The Toronto Rock are officially coming back to Hamilton. The six-time National Lacrosse League champions announced this week that they'll return to the city for the 2025–26 season and play out of the newly renamed TD Coliseum — formerly FirstOntario Centre — following major renovations. "We're excited to return home to Hamilton and play in front of our fans in a venue that will deliver a world-class experience to the Rock City faithful," said Jamie Dawick, the team's owner, president and general manager, in a news release. "December can't come soon enough." The Rock first moved to Hamilton in 2021 but temporarily relocated to the Paramount Fine Foods Centre in Mississauga during the overhaul. In three regular seasons at the Hamilton arena, the team posted a 21-6 home record. Despite the return to Hamilton, the team's name will remain the same, the team's director of communications Mike Hancock said Friday. Renovations prompted sports teams to leave Several other teams were also displaced by the arena's closure in late 2023. The OHL's Hamilton Bulldogs — originally the Belleville Bulls — moved to Hamilton in 2015 but temporarily relocated to the Brantford Civic Centre in early 2023. That move became permanent in January 2025, when NHL player Zach Hyman and his family purchased the team and signed a 15‑year memorandum of understanding, anchoring the Bulldogs in Brantford. There have been no public announcements suggesting a return to Hamilton. The Hamilton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League also left the city, moving to Brampton in late 2022, where they remain under new ownership. CBC Hamilton reached out to the team but did not receive a response before publication. The moves underscore how the arena's multi-million-dollar redevelopment has reshaped Hamilton's sports landscape. While the Rock's return signals renewed activity at the venue, Hamilton's basketball and junior hockey teams have since established long-term homes elsewhere. The new TD Coliseum is expected to reopen later this year and become a major entertainment hub for Hamilton. The arena will feature premium seating, improved acoustics, next-generation tech for food and beverage service, and enhanced concourses, said Oak View Group.
