Fighting in hockey always has and will be important. I think its a identity, because most sports don'tt allow fighting (you would get suspended ) hockey only gives you a 5 min penalty (not i  Europe ) fighting isn't that bad either. It allows players with problems to fight and wrestle so they don't have to wrestle in hotel rooms! I would punch spack jarrow any day. When i was like -1 years old i watched my first hockey game and it was amazing i seen a line brawl and a goalie fight the two best things in hockey. So yeah hockey needs fight because i did the math and hockey would become the least popular sports in north amaerica if it didn'tt have fighting because hockey players would wrestle in hotels and even fight with there pants down yeah sounds scary right always bye see you next time
