If you take away fighting, then the way to get back is laying out a dirty hit. I think we can agree that no one wants that.
So no, fighting should stay. Fighting takes two to dance, so when you accept the fight then you are agreeing to possibly get injured in the fight.
Simply put, if you don’t want to fight then don’t. But, I think it’s still a good part of hockey but has to be used in the right way. The number of fights have decreased substantially over the years, so it appears that many hockey players are choosing the first option.
