Following Nick Tarnasky's viral golf course brawl, the former NHL enforcer revealed to Paul Bissonnette that he's been receiving interest from several teams to play.

On Tuesday, the Spittin' Chiclets released a sit-down podcast with former NHL enforcer Nick Tarnasky, who recently became famous for losing his cool during a golf course fight in Red Deer, Alberta.

Paul Bissonnette and Nick Tarnasky discussed the infamous moment. Tarnasky got into a fight with a drunk golfer, and he talked about his odd career path through the NHL and KHL as well.

Since the video went viral, Tarnasky's phone has not stopped ringing. In the interview, he revealed that even some of his old teams called, asking if he would come back.

'It's nice to hear from every single team that I played with for the 13, 14 years of my life.'

Bissonnette immediately asked: 'To call you back to play?'

To which Tarnarsky responded: 'Oh yeah, I hear from guys from Springfield in 2005. Like, guys are fired up.'

Bissonnette went on, asking if he would reveal who called, and whether Tarnasky would come back. He even brought up the possibility of Tarnasky being offered a PTO (professional tryout contract) in the NHL thanks to his internet celebrity.

He tore through all of his fighting history, and more of his life beyond hockey was probed, but the rumors of a return offered a humorous turn of events to all of the speculation.

'Yeah, F-' I don't know. I'll have to lose a few pounds to get that back.'

Tarnasky played for three NHL teams during his pro career

Taken in the ninth round of the NHL draft back in 2003, Tarnasky played 245 NHL games, accumulating a total of 297 minutes of penalties for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Nashville Predators, and Florida Panthers.

He was a tough guy, never afraid to lower his gloves against the big boys, including Milan Lucic, Mike Commodore, and Chris McGrattan.

Tarnasky stood 6'2" at 230 lbs, but he never stepped back, and from his most recent golf video, he never hesitates to fight.
