Welcome to our top 10 Vancouver Canucks fights of all time. With our friends from HockeyFights.com, our 6th Canucks fight of all time is the fight between Ron Delorme vs. Jamie Macoun.

Earlier in the summer, we covered our top 5 Vancouver Canucks fights of the 2024-2025 season. You can rewatch all of these fights here:

#1 – Conor Garland vs. Erik Haula

We now go back to 1984, which is the oldest fight on our Top 10 list. The Canucks welcomed the Calgary Flames to town on February 19. The game started with a Flames goal off the stick of Dan Quinn. But by the end of the second frame, the Canucks rattled off four goals from Moe Lemay, Dave Williams, Stan Smyl and Jiri Bubla.

Colin Patterson cut the Canucks lead in half, but Tony Tanti scored his 37th of the season six minutes later. As the game was winding down and the Flames were out of reach, the rough stuff started.

We don’t see what happens before this, but judging by the box score, it appears that this was a full-on line brawl. The play ended with four fighting majors, five misconducts, four game misconducts, one unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, and an abuse of an official penalty, totalling 122 penalty minutes.

The clip starts with both players already in a clinch position without their gloves on. Delorme waits four seconds before throwing the first punch, and then it’s all-out fireworks. The two players exchange blows, rock-em sock-em style, for the next 15 seconds, before Delorme delivers a right hand that clearly stung Macoun. Macoun then grabs onto Delorme in the clinch, and the referees get in the way to stop the fight.

Both Delorme and Macoun were given fighting majors, misconducts and game misconducts for this fight.

HockeyFights voters gave this fight an 8.8/10 and favoured Delorme, who earned 67% of the six votes. Macoun received 17% of the votes, with the other 17% calling it a draw.
