Maybe, but I also think that checking should be introduced at a younger age in hockey on a gradual/graduating basis, but that is a different discussion.
At no point is fighting taught in hockey.
But as young as Atom, and certainly PeeWee players are taught to take away ice along the boards, which eventually leads into checking.
