For fighting in jr hockey I think it is a no brainer to get rid of it. Most of these players are not going to be professionals. So really the WHL is no different the adult mens leagues around the city. Anyone play Mens Hockey with fighting in it still? Anyone going to work with knocked out teeth? If you don't play in a Men's league with fighting I don't think you can argue for Jr hockey at any level to have fighting in it. Why would you subject kids to someting that you wouldn't do yourself.
