So I still am asking the question, if in spite of the risks two adults can legally resolve their differences by fighting (and to date society has not been compelled to change that), then what is the compelling need to ban hockey players from the exact same conduct?

That's not my impression. My impression is that there is grey area, and it's complicated, which I explicitly stated. Surely nobody familiar with the law deals in black and white, nor would they be as matter-of-fact to suggest that "two guys want to fight? No possible negative outcome! Society thinks it's fine!" That's simply not true, and it's an untrue view of society.
I guess my question to you is: What other profession do you know of in North America where employees are allowed to fight on the job (where 'fighter' isn't the job title), or put themselves in unnecessary danger while acting outside the rules and regulations of said job?
