Honestly, I appreciate that there is overall less fighting in hockey than when I was growing up. While I'm not the biggest hockey fan in the world, I have many students who are hockey fans and hockey players, and I think when they grow up seeing adult men, heroes in their lives, who are not just aggressive, but in this case violent, it sends a bad message. For a lot of kids they are trying to figure out how to manage their emotions with the fact they need to be able to follow the rules and laws of society. If fighting would get you arrested for assault on the street, I struggle to see why it suddenly becomes okay because you're on the ice. Especially when looking at what children view and understand, they can struggle to see the difference between 'This okay because it's not actually fighting to fight, but because it's about the game' compared to what might get them in trouble in other circumstances.
