Written Option 1:

Hockey. It's synonymous with violence. From the bone-crushing hits to the bare knuckle fights. While it's true that both have diminished over the years in an effort to clean up the game and make it safer for players, it (hopefully) will never be completely eliminated from the game.
Perhaps as a way to try and balance out the brutality of the sport, we can embrace other elements to show it's beauty. Even borrowing from other ice sports, such as synchronised skating.
As an example, you have two players from different countries who don't speak the same language but would like to engage the other in combat. Nothing is quite as universal as interpretive dance. So, with predetermined music blaring over the arena's sound system, the players will demonstrate their intent by dancing emotively. It will be ever so moving, so much so that in the end, will we even care about the fighting in the first place?
