Ice Wars officially launches a new trend of sanctioned hockey fights, stripping the sport down to its core — fighting. Spearheaded by former UFC fighter Ian Heinisch, this event will take place in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, featuring ten premeditated bouts with fighters using hockey jerseys but no skates or sticks. The aim is to deliver pure action without the distractions of traditional hockey, as the organization seeks to address complaints from hockey purists about fighting in the sport. The fighters, consisting of former MMA fighters, boxers, and hockey players, will battle across four weight classes in a fight-designed rink.
With this unique model, Ice Wars aims to attract a niche audience interested in combat sports, potentially leading to further events and increased fighter sign-ups. They also plan to implement strategies to ensure thrilling outcomes, possibly drawing in gambling interest.
