This is not really news, fighting is essentially banned everywhere in hockey except the CHL and the NHL. The CHL will soon "ban it" though by adding a game misconduct to a fighting major. 5 and a game for a fight, get 3 game misconducts and recieve a suspension. Get a 4th and receive a further suspension and so on, I believe this is how the AJHL currently does it.

There is no fighting (very, very little) in AAA midget, it is very physical and competitive. At the next level all hell can break lose, why? To me the line should be drawn where pay cheques start. If you are being paid, and an adult, it is your choice. David Branch will make the elimination of fighting his legacy in the CHL. Though they cannot control players emotions and reactions, supplemental suspentions will eliminate repeat offenders.

Everyone is mixing the NHL in on this discussion and to me it is totally different.
