SHL has just been picked up by HBO and it is all about extreme now. The difference between SHL and NHL is that this extreme version of SHL requires that teams always have one fight during the match and the players will be chosen by their teams. The fight will always be during the third period when the teams are hungry to secure a win. When the players fight they will be given boxing gloves. The fight only ends when one player gets knocked to the floor. Referees cannot get involved. As you can see the SHL will require a different tactic and must secure players like Laraque in the NHL to give their teams the competitive edge. This will ensure that they win their fights and give their respective teams the momentum to finish the 3rd period strong. This is indeed a cool addition to SHL and will increase the fan base. I mean who doesn't love a good fighting match. This boosts everyone's testosterone levels and men will pay bucks to see it. You can expect the SHL to make a killer revenue from this addition
