Dec. 7, 1963 | Black Hawks-Maple Leafs Brawl

Dec. 7, 1963 - The Toronto Maple Leafs blanked the Chicago Black Hawks, 3-0, tonight at Maple Leaf Gardens to shatter an unbeaten Chicago streak that had carried through nine games. The wild game was held up for 20 minutes late in the final period when a brawl broke out between the two teams and resulted in seven major penalties, six misconducts, and three game misconducts. The melee erupted shortly after Chicago's Reg Fleming was given a minor penalty for tripping. He was in the box when the Leafs' Bob Baun skated over, and the battle was on. Players, team officials, and spectators joined in the action.
