Bench Not-Clearing Brawl

[hab_in_exile]

This weekend I had a Midget AAA game. I was working lines. A player from Team A fell to the ice behind me (I was on the blue line), I turned when I heard him fall. He immediately got up and went after the guy that may or may not have hit him, throwing his gloves to the ice in the process. The guy he was chasing was a bit oblivious at first and was just heading to the bench.
The Team A player caught him right at the door and pushed him into the Team B bench, and following right along. The long and the short of it was I had a Team A player going into the Team B bench to get his pound of flesh.
The Team B coaches were very good and kept their kids under control so it was not the riot it could have been. However, in the room after we talked about what we should have done. We both went into the bench to try and save the Team A player from himself. We agreed that had more Team A players come over to help we would have been absolutely screwed because we would have been stuck in the bench.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this rather novel problem?
