Something we have seen more of in Jr hockey, and it is a trend that will likely grow are ht eLinsmen stepping in and preventing a fight when two players square off, before any punches are thrown. I don't know why this hasn't always happened, doing this alone, everytime would cut the fighting in half.
I've really turned the corner on fighting over the years at the junior level, as many have said , there's something nit right about grown men cheering over two kids fighting. The current WHL rules are the same as the NHL, three fights before you are kicked out of the game. Three. Why? The WHL is certainly not against fighting in the game, this nees to change.
