A lot depends on what happened. Did someone say something that was clearly out of line, or did things even get physical? Assuming it was not anything too serious, I would have both of the players sit down with veteran player(s) of the team and talk everything through. Once everything is clear, both players could give a quick speech and maybe shake hands in front of the whole team, so it's clear to everybody that nothing is going on. I reckon it's not unusual for things to get a bit heated when competitive players spend so much time together, so in that sense, I don't think anything else is required in a ''not so serious'' situation.
However, if a proper beatdown happened or someone said something truly messed up, I would do the same and try to give all sides an opportunity to explain. I would rely on veteran player presence once again. If the case is clear and both players can't play in the same team anymore. I would pass this information to the coaches and they can then discuss things with the general manager. The player who started it all would be traded. I think that is the only way to keep the team together and also it would make the whole team look bad if the instigator stays and the other party is traded. The veteran players can then give a speech in front of the whole team that explains it all. I would also give the player at fault an opportunity to say bye to the whole team.
My method is pretty simple in all situations. Small group meeting first. Then based on the situation, I would try to keep things cool, so the team could hopefully move on.
