specialized info

Untill you get to midget in minor hockey fighting is not allowed and as soon as you start they will stop it
thesis
Hockey does have a lot of concussions in it but 70 percent of concussions are caused from illegal hitting and not fighting.
hockey does not really have enforcers anymore who do big hits so I think fighting should be allowed in hockey.
argument #1 fighting is saver than big illegal hits like Boarding.
70 percent of concussions are from illegal hits
you can be suspend from games for illegal hitting but the most you can get for fighting is a ten minutes.
because of the ice lots of players have a greater chance of sliding headfirst into the boards after a hit bug hitting is still allowed.
argument #2 fighting does not happen that much any more and if it does it is normally a small fight
last NHL season there were 240 fights and the 2007- 2008 season there was 734 fights
every Hockey season even in the Major Junior Ice Hockey League fighting has gone down considerably.
in the first few years in the NHL they had at least one big fight a game now in the last NHL season they had 1,271 games and only 240 fights
argument #3 Players have some of the best gear with the best technology to help so they do not get concussions.
Many players have custom helmets to help so that when they do get hit or punched there helmets moves around a little bit to make it so their head does not shake as much.
some hockey helmets have some of the same technology as mountain bike helmets.
a few years ago they had now of the technology for helmets that we have now and they had more fights and bigger fights.
