The next thing I new he was fighting, and I had enough time to turn around and see four other players skating in my direction. Every single man on the ice was fighting including the goalies. During my little tussle I glanced up in the crowd and saw every fan cheering on the fights. I enjoy watching a good fight. My best friend plays for the New York Islanders, and whenever he has a chance to show me his videos, the first thing we watch are the fights.
Fights are exciting and excitement stands out in a person's mind.
The past two years at Concordia was no different. I've been around it for years and violence does sell tickets. As a member of the American Medical Association, we believe that law enforcement officials should indeed step in, and charge the player with assault if that is what occurred in the game. Fighting is indeed a part of hockey, but it is an unnecessary part of it. All fighting does is give the players unnecessary injuries, that could have been avoided if there was no fighting.
