HOCKEY PROMPT: Personally, I’m not a big fan of fighting and I don’t think we need to have fought in the game moving forward. There’s plenty of hockey out there that is played without allowing fighting, notably in college hockey, in multiple European leagues and in the international tournaments and the hockey is just as good while the number of cheap shots also doesn’t increase noticeably, which is often the main argument used to argue that fighting needs to still be allowed. Although, I personally don’t think that fighting needs to be an outright ban at the top level, because I think this is a part of the game that will simply fade away as the years goes by and we can already observe that phenomenon in the Canadian junior leagues where fighting as basically took a nosedive. Two players fighting right after a faceoff pissed me off, because I think these fights are completely useless and I just want the game to move on.
