Who is Blair Riley you might ask. Well in a nutshell, Riley plays for the Bridgeport Soundtigers. He was recently signed to a one way deal and has played almost 40 games this season for the Tigers. Riley started his career in the British Columbian Hockey League (BCHL) which is one of North America's top Junior A leagues. He spent 4 seasons there between Merritt and Nanaimo. In 2003-04 he put up 214 PIMS in the regular season. Instead of going pro he entered college and played in the Central Collegiate Hockey league (CCHL) which is a part of the NCAA. Riley played for Ferris State and in 2007-08 racked up 90 PIMS in only 36 games. Riley joined the Springfield Falcons (AHL) after graduating in 2010. The following season he was invited to the Phoenix Coyotes prospect camp where he fought Dylan King, who came on strong with Sault Ste. Marie of the OHL with 28 fights in 2010.

So with Riley has racked up 21 fights in the last two seasons and again, has arguably (depending on how you look at these kind of things) not lost a fight in two years. Of course everyone has there opinion and looking through his fights the only fight that could be seen as a loss or a slight edge to the opponent (I scored it a draw) was the fight against Garet Hunt.
But again, even if you score the Hunt fight a win for Hunt, 20-1 id pretty damn impressive nonetheless.
