Paul Bissonnette — former Arizona Coyotes ice hockey player who also goes by the nickname “Biz” — was attacked at a bar in Scottsdale, Arizona. Bissonnette, 39, broke his silence about the fight in a social media video on Tuesday, November 26.
In the clip that he shared via X, the “Spittin’ Chiclets” podcast co-host noted that the men who assaulted him are “just bad dudes” and were “way too drunk,” adding, “I’m very, very angry about these guys and want their names out there.”

This past weekend, Bissonnette went out for dinner to a local restaurant in Scottsdale, which he said he visits “three [or] four times a week.”
“At one point, there was a bit of a ruckus going on in the bar,” Bissonette said in his X (previously known as Twitter) video, which was shared on Monday, November 25. “It was a bunch of drunk golfers. Things obviously continued to escalate. They [asked] one guy to leave, and one guy kept getting in the manager’s face and put his hands on him. And that went on probably for about 30, 45 seconds.”
After seeing the group harass the restaurant’s manager, Bissonnette claimed he “just grabbed the guy’s arm,” and told him, “Sir, if you continue to harass and assault the staff, we’re gonna have problems.” At this point, the group of golfers “started chucking,” Biz claimed.
