There will always be pundits and people on their computers claiming that hockey has no place in the game, and I'm often curious how many players of different skill levels and positions coming out in support of fighting it's going to take before the pundits admit they are wrong.
Fighting is dangerous, and is it worth the possibly damaging health effects? Probably not to most. But it's also a valuable part of the game that serves it's purpose.
Nobody can deny the negative implications if hits to the head, but it's time to stop denying the value of fighting in hockey. Whether or not the value outweighs the risk is an opinion anyone is allowed to have, but saying it has no value? Garbage.
