Worth reading. I know that this is a hot topic among hockey fans, but I'm very much on the same wave length as Lindros and Dryden.

Unlike some other sports, hockey has an opportunity to change where it no longer needs nearly the same level of physicality then it once did. There was a time when one of the main reasons I loved the sport was because of the hard hitting nature of it, but I can't rationalize that against the severe health impacts it has had on some of my favorite players, including the deaths of several.
What doe the sport look like if only stick checking is allowed? Or even if checking is only about getting the puck back, and anything more than that is a sever penalty.
Important discussion.
