Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse played in his home province (Ottawa) on Thursday night, so his friends and family were able to see him play against the Senators. And they were lucky enough to watch the rookie defenseman beat the hell out of an opposing player.

Nurse challenged Max McCormick in what was his second fight of the season, and it’s safe to say he won. Don’t believe me? Check out the reaction from his parents, who enjoyed every second of it.

Nurse’s dad, Richard, was a former Canadian Football League player himself. So he’s no stranger to physical play.
