PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia Flyers minor-league enforcer was hospitalized after having a seizure following a bloody fight, just weeks after the death of a Canadian senior amateur player who hit his head on the ice while fighting.

Garrett Klotz, a hulking 20-year-old right wing in his first season with the American Hockey League's Philadelphia Phantoms, was taken off the ice on a stretcher Friday night in the opening seconds of a 2-1 victory over Manchester.

Phantoms spokesman Brian Smith said Klotz, also cut on the face, would remain overnight at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital and was expected to be released Saturday. Smith said Klotz was alert and responsive on the way to the hospital and watched the rest of the game on television.
