Fight Night in Houston:

"We know how much fans enjoy a good brawl, so we are going to guarantee a fight. If there is not a single five-minute fighting major given to a player, every fan in attendance will receive a free ticket to the following home game."

- The Houston Aeros website, promoting two "Guaranteed Fight Nights."

"We told them that if they wanted to do it, they would be hit with a substantial fine. We try to promote the integrity of the game in everything we do and something like this promotion doesn't fit well in our plans. It was an ill-conceived idea. It is disrespectful to the game itself and it is disrespectful to the players. It suggests that gratuitous violence is a big part of the sport and that's just not the case."

- American Hockey League president Dave Andrews explains why the promotion was cancelled.

"We weren't trying to be rebels in this league. We just wanted to attract a different group of people to our games. Maybe we'll have a Guaranteed Win Night now."

- Aeros president Dave Barr.
