Hockey Prompt:

Fighting in hockey is a controversial topic, but I think it still has a place in the game. The repeated failures of the department of player safety are well known, so you can't count on them to properly punish players who get too far out of line on the ice. So teams need to take this into their own hands, which is where fighting comes into play. Most teams have one or two big guys who aren't afraid to drop the gloves and stand up for their teammates. One of the other reasons I think fighting still has a place in hockey is the entertainment aspect. Hockey is an entertainment business at the end of the day, and people do love watching fights. Talk to any casual hockey fan, and they will tell you how much they love seeing fights break out on the ice. One of the most popular new players in Arber Xhekaj on the Canadiens, and he has been fighting anyone and everyone, showing that fighting is still popular among the fans.
