This past week several articles appeared that asked that question and then reported on the number of enforcers who are out of work or were put on waivers and sent to the minors. There was wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst the fight fans and former enforcers were quoted saying the direction was a mistake. However, although in my opinion these player moves were positive for hockey, I suspect the NHL fight culture didn’t change overnight.
The time has come for the NHL and NHLPA to show maturity, to display concern for their players and to promote the beauty of hockey instead of supporting a culture of fighting. From this humble site I hope to rally others with a similar opinion and communicate this message to hockey officals at all levels of the game.
