All contact sports have these risks, fighting is no more dangerous than any of it, even if it does add to the overall totals.
I would be curious if their is a data set that shows how many players diagnosed with concussions were from bodychecking compared to fighting.

Kariya and Lafontaine for sure.
I've said this before but it's an unpopular opinion. Hockey is currently too fast which causes hits at high speed. It actually needs the two-line pass and clutching and grabbing rules back.
