The mugshots of the six men who assaulted popular NHL media personality and former player Paul Bissonnette have been released.
On Sunday evening, Paul Bissonnette was involved in a brawl with seven men at the Houston’s restaurant in Scottsdale, Arizona. Bissonnette attempted to de-escalate a situation involving a group of intoxicated golfers at the venue, leading to a fight between “BizNasty” and the seven men outside.
Bissonnette claimed that the men were obnoxious and belligerent toward the staff after their request for more alcoholic beverages was denied. Bissonnette says he told one of the men that there’d be a problem if they didn’t stop, leading to the brawl.
Despite being outnumbered, Paul Bissonnette held his own and only suffered minor injuries. Police arrived quickly and arrested six men, and Bissonnette’s injuries were treated at a hospital.
The Scottsdale Police Department has since released the mugshots of the six men, per tMZ Sports. have been identified as John Carroll, William Carroll, Sean Daley, Henry Mesker, Edward Jennings and Danny Bradley:

The 39-year-old Bissonnette further addressed the incident on the latest episode of the “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast he co-hosts with Ryan Whitney for Barstool Spots. Bissonnette thanked the restaurant staff, police, paramedics and firefighters and asked for a chance to fight each of the culprits individually again.
Don’t Mess With Paul Bissonnette
Bissonnette was listed at 6 feet 2 inches and 216 pounds during his playing career. He played in 202 NHL games and racked up 340 penalty minutes, something the seven men should have known before challenging him.
Fans and fellow analysts are praising Bissonnette for his part in aiding the restaurant staffers here. It could have gotten much worse and out of hand if he didn’t take matters into his own hands, so kudos to Bissonnette for trying to put a non-violent end to it before those hooligans learned their costly lesson.
