Victim of brutal golf fight finally breaks silence after being punched and thrown into lake by ex-hockey star
Trevor Ogilvie, the Canadian man who was seen being pummeled and tossed in a golf course lake by ex-NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky, has finally broken his silence about the viral video. 'Yup, that's me, guys,' Ogilvie began his self-shot video, 'the guy that got dropped like a bucket of balls in a pond.' The fight, which took place at Alberta Springs Golf Resort, saw Ogilvie punched several times and pushed into a lake by Tarnasky, a journeyman NHL center who last played professionally with the AHL's San Diego Gulls in 2017. Video of the incident showed Tarnasky growing furious with a slower group that refused to let his play through. The fight was very one-sided as Tarnasky quickly tossed Ogilvie into the lake. Incredibly, Ogilvie crawled out of the water and continued to challenge Tarnasky to a fight, resulting in the ex-enforcer landing five punches to his rival's head before tossing him towards the lake once again. '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. 'It was essentially a report of a fight and an intoxicated individual,' Royal Canadian Mounted Police Corporal Troy Savinkoff told CBC. 'Nobody came forward to us alleging an assault or anything like that, and our investigation was concluded.' Tarnasky's U-17 team, Red Deer Minor Hockey, has also released its own statement claiming that it is investigating the incident. 'We are aware of a video circulating on social media involving a coach with Red Deer Minor Hockey,' the team told CBC. '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. Drafted 287th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2003, the 6-foot-2 Tarnasky also played for the Florida Panthers and the Nashville Predators. Across 245 NHL games, he totaled 13 goals, 30 points, and a whopping 297 penalty minutes. He spent many more games in the American Hockey League - playing in 486 games and putting up 80 goals, 145 points and an astounding 881 penalty minutes. Tarnasky last played in the NHL in 2010.
