Milan Lucic Shocks Hockey World by Attacking His Own Teammate
Milan Lucic, the former NHL enforcer known for his on-ice intensity, has once again made headlines—but this time for all the wrong reasons. Over the weekend, Lucic, now playing for the Fife Flyers in the UK’s Elite Ice Hockey League, was caught on camera attacking one of his own teammates, Logan Neilson, during what should have been a routine post-game moment.
Video footage shows a visibly angry Lucic approaching Neilson with clear agitation. At first, it seems like a heated exchange, but then Lucic escalates dramatically, striking Neilson directly in the face. The incident stunned fans in attendance, drawing loud reactions and widespread criticism online. This is particularly striking given that the game had just ended and the altercation had nothing to do with the opposing team, the Glasgow Clan.

Lucic’s history as a tough, physical player in the NHL is well-documented. He built his career on being an enforcer, often engaging in on-ice fights to protect teammates or shift momentum. But attacking a teammate crosses a very different line. It raises serious questions about team dynamics, locker room discipline and player safety—even in leagues outside the NHL. Teammates rely on trust and respect and moments like this can have ripple effects that extend far beyond a single game.
At this time, there’s no official word on whether Lucic will face disciplinary action from the Fife Flyers or the EIHL. The league and the team will likely have to weigh the incident carefully, considering both Lucic’s legacy as a high-profile player and the potential impact on team morale. For fans and analysts alike, this is a cautionary tale about the volatility that can come when intense competitive drive meets unchecked anger.
This incident also sheds light on a larger conversation in hockey about player conduct, even for those known for their physicality. Former enforcers like Lucic are celebrated for toughness, but there is a line between protecting teammates and harming them. Crossing that line can alter reputations, affect careers and even prompt league-wide discussions about disciplinary standards.
As the fallout continues, all eyes will be on the Fife Flyers, their locker room atmosphere and any official statements from the league. Hockey fans around the world will be watching closely, wondering how this chapter in Lucic’s career will unfold. Stay tuned and keep following for updates, because this story is far from over and its implications could reach across the sport.
