Most of the NHL enforcer type guys are the best dudes you could meet. They're almost always humble and cool. The sad fact is most of them aren't just fighting on the ice, they're fighting mental demons and a lot of them turn to alcohol and drugs, recreational and painkillers, to help them through.
The fact that the enforcer seems to be almost out of the game is somewhat sad for those who hoped to make the NHL with their fists but it might just save some lives down the road.
