Life of an Enforcer - Alan May fights McClelland at training camp 1988

From Edomonton Oilers training camp September 9, 1988 at the start of the 1988-89 season. Alan May came in as a rookie, having been played only 3 games in the NHL for Boston Bruins the year before. He knew he had to fight the team's enforcer to earn respect. 4 minutes before training camp officially opened, Kevin McClelland welcomed May to the team by challenging him to fight. May earned his spot on the team but only got 3 games with the tough and talented Oilers lineup that season. He was traded to Washington Capitals next season where he earned a total of 345 games within 5 seasons with the Caps.
