The Westgarth incident could have been far worse if he had taken his helmet off voluntarily. He hit the ice pretty hard and his head snapped back.

RE: Fighting

Responsible fighting has its place in the game, the show-fights don't. Injuries are going to happen just as they do when 200 lbs. players slam into each other at full speed. Getting hurt is part of the game and always will be regardless of developing precautions.

It's really as simple as that.
