Notpartofthegame - Fighting in hockey is less dangerous then changing lines. More people get hurt in hockey because bench doors are opened than fights in hockey . If you don't want fighting in hockey, great, that's your personal opinion. You can't use concussion's, and the three tragic deaths (and at least could spell all three names right) to argue that fighting is dangerous. The facts just do not point in that direction. You said it yourself, fights in hockey are more like wrestling than boxing and the amount of heavy punches that actually make contact with the head are a rarity. Fighting in hockey just isn't dangerous, so argue morality, or purpose but Ralph Nader was out of line with his letter and should stay out of sports.
