Ex-NHL star who punched rival golfer and threw him into a lake reveals truth behind viral on-course fight
Ex-NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky has revealed the truth behind the wild golf course fight that went viral on social media. At the start of July, Tarnasky and his friends were seen involved in a shock brawl with a rival group at Alberta Springs Golf Resort in Red Deer - with the former Florida Panther seemingly upset with how long the opposing group is taking to play. Footage of the incident showed Tarnasky arguing with one of the rival group members - revealed to be Trevor Ogilvie - before a physical confrontation broke out. The fight, however, was incredibly one-sided as Tarnasky quickly tossed the Ogilvie into the water - much to the shock of his rival's friends. Incredibly, Ogilvie crawled out of the water and continued to challenge Tarnasky, however, the ex-enforcer landed five punches to his rival's head before tossing him towards the lake once again. In the days that have followed, Ogilvie broke his silence over the matter and now former Panther star Tarnasky has done the same. Speaking on the 'Spittin' Chiclets' podcast, Tarnasky said: 'At the end of the day, I asked him not to, told him he shouldn't get involved with me. 'I asked him to move on, I gave him every opportunity not to, and he charged at me. I'm not going to fold over, that's not my nature.' Tarnasky went on to claim that Ogilvie had been taking 20-25 minutes to play each hole, before the ex-NHL star confronted him on Hole 15. 'That instantly set him off,' Tarnasky claimed. 'He's doing the fist-clenching and the pumping his arms, and that's where the altercation starts that's on the video.' Tarnasky then claimed that he attempted to diffuse the situation with the light-hearted threat of throwing his rival into the lake - before that actually transpired. 'If I hear I'm going to get thrown in the pond by this f***ing mutant, maybe I'm going to chill out,' he said. 'I thought maybe that could be a fun way to be like, 'You guys are in the wrong, let's speed things up.' Tarnasky also opened up on the reaction to the clip. He said: 'It's nice to hear from damn near every single teammate I've played with for 13-14 years of my life. Guys are fired up.' Ogilvie previously broke his silence over the incident and admitted that his 'mouth ran faster his brain' as he reflected on the viral moment. 'Yup, that's me, guys,' Ogilvie began his self-shot video, 'the guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond. 'Not my finest moment, I know,' Ogilvie said on Instagram. 'Looks real bad. Played 36 holes of golf. Drank way too much and my mouth ran faster than my brain. 'All jokes aside, guys, I'd like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it and anyone who had to deal with me that day. I lost my cool and I learned from it. Just one of those days where you should have kept the cart on the path.' Ogilvie ended his message by telling followers: 'Stay hydrated, keep your stick on the ice, maybe stick to 18.' Despite the mauling, Ogilvie appears to have only suffered a black eye. 'Just a tiny lil black eye thats it thats all boys,' he wrote on Reddit. Tarnasky, a the 40-year-old Under-17 coach, appears to be avoiding any penalty for the fight.

Golfer who ‘got dropped like a bucket of balls' in fight with ex-NHLer Nick Tarnasky apologizes
Warning: Videos below contain violence and swearing. The man who got into a fight with a former NHLer with a history of handing out on-ice beatings has apologized for his part in the incident that was captured on video and has since gone viral. 'Yep, that's me, guys. The guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond,' Trevor Ogilvie begins in a confessional video stitched above one showing the beatdown he suffered at the hands of Nick Tarnasky, a veteran of 245 NHL games, at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, just outside Red Deer, Alta. 'Not my finest moment, I know. Looks real bad. I played 36 holes of golf, we drank way too much, and my mouth ran faster than my brain.' In the extended version of the video, Tarnasky and his golf group are expressing frustration with the pair they're playing behind, saying they're taking too long to tee off and slowing down play for everyone. 'You're not a tough guy. Hurry up,' Tarnasky says to a Hawaiian shirt-clad Ogilvie as the group of men argue around their golf carts near a tee-box. 'He's pretty tough,' Ogilvie's unidentified playing partner replies. Tarnasky and company vehemently disagree and urge the duo to get moving or let the group play through. Eventually, as Ogilvie is slowly teeing up, Tarnasky can be heard complaining about their slow play and threatening to 'throw them' in the lake. Ogilvie then drops his club and tells Tarnasky to 'F—ing cry about it' and calls him a 'p—y.' As he's warned to back down and told he's not scaring anybody, Ogilvie throws his sunglasses to the ground and starts acting aggressively, shouting 'Let's go f—ing go, man.' 'Buddy, you don't want to go at me,' Tarnasky can be heard warning him. Moments later, Ogilvie lunges at the much bigger and taller Tarnasky, who uses the aggressor's momentum to manhandle him into the nearby aforementioned water hazard. Ogilvie quickly climbs from the water and goes back at Tarnasky only to be served two meaty right hands by the former pro who had 297 penalty minutes in his five NHL seasons, which included heavyweight tilts against the likes of Aaron Asham, Zenon Konopka, Milan Lucic, Chris Neil and Colton Orr, among several others. (He racked up another 1,054 minutes in 522 AHL and KHL games.) Each landed fist is accentuated by Tarnasky shouting 'Bang!' An undeterred Ogilvie, however, climbs to his feet and is delivered another three punches, each with their own 'Bang,' before being pushed to the ground. 'Enough. Get out,' Tarnasky screams as Ogilvie staggers toward him again, only to be rag-dolled onto the grass. As Tarnasky's group again urge the tandem to leave, Ogilvie gathers his belongings and stumbles forward looking for a handshake. An incensed Tarnasky wants none of it and pushes him to the ground again. Then, after Ogilvie starts putting his clubs in someone else's cart and is pushed away, he appears to briefly brandish the club as a weapon. The camera cuts away as Tarnasky and the others continue to yell at Ogilvie and the unidentified man to leave, which they soon do. Ogilvie's latest post, while contrite, came without a direct apology to Tarnasky. 'All jokes aside, guys, I'd like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it and anyone who had to deal with me that day. I lost my cool, and I've learned from it. It's just one of those days where you should have kept the cart on the path, ya know. 'Stay hydrated. Keep your stick on the ice. Maybe stick to 18.' Tarnasky, meanwhile, is set to break his silence on the slow-play fisticuffs in the next episode of the popular Spittin' Chiclets hockey podcast — he chatted with co-host and retired NHLer Paul Bisonnette for an episode set to air on Tuesday. Local RCMP were made aware of the incident, but Const. Cory Riggs told the Red Deer Advocate that 'it appears to be a consensual fight and no further action is being taken.' However, the incident has prompted an internal investigation on the part of Tarnasky's employers, Red Deer Minor Hockey. 'We are aware of a video circulating on social media involving a coach with Red Deer Minor Hockey,' the organization said in a statement to the Canadian Press last week. 'At this time, given that we understand the matter is being reviewed by local policing authorities and we are conducting our own internal investigation into the alleged incident, we will have no further comments.' National Post has contacted the association for more information on their probe. In May, Tarnasky was announced as the North Stars' returning U17 AAA head coach for the 2025-26 season. The veteran of 14 pro seasons took over the bench after the team's slow start in October 2024 and went on to guide the boys to a berth in the Hockey Alberta Provincials, earning himself Alberta Elite Hockey League coach of the year honours in the age group. 'His ability to create a positive, high-performance environment and bring out the best in his players has been a key factor in the team's resurgence,' the association wrote.

‘Not my finest moment': Man beat up at Red Deer golf course apologizes
Trevor Ogilvie is apologizing for drinking too much after a video of him getting beat up by former NHL player Nick Tarnasky on a Red Deer golf course surfaced. (Facebook) A man named Trevor Ogilvie is apologizing after a video of him getting beat up by former NHLer Nick Tarnasky on a Red Deer golf course circulated online earlier this week. The video shows Tarnasky throwing the man into a pond and punching him repeatedly – saying 'bang' after each hit. 'Not my finest moment, I know,' said Ogilvie in a video posted to Facebook Friday. 'Played 36 holes of golf, drank way too much and my mouth ran faster than my brain.' 'I'd like to apologize to all the folks on the course, anyone caught up in it and anyone who had to deal with me that day,' Ogilvie went on. 'I lost my cool, and I've learned from it.' Tarnasky, 40, played in the NHL between 2005 and 2010, racking up 245 games with Tampa Bay, Nashville and Florida. He played in the AHL for several years and moved into coaching. Red Deer Minor Hockey recently announced his return to head coach of the U17 AAA North Stars for the 2025-26 season. The organization said it is conducting its own investigation while RCMP are staying out of it as no one came forward alleging an assault. With files from the Canadian Press.
