Re: Ice Hockey.....need a question answered..
Over here fighting is banned in all minor leagues as far as i know and i think its the same for the pros.
And i think if there is a fight its a auto game misconduct.
And the whole not alot of black guys play hockey i'd say thats more to do with fast n slow twitches in the muscles, same reason you dont see alot of white world class sprinters ( Jerome Iginla dont seem to mind :P )
And i think the fighting is good, it adds a bit of variety in the game, Hockey aint a game for sissys either, unlike in american football where you can hit someone as hard as you like and not fear any revenge ( pfft like it ever hurts em, the marines going into iraq wore less armour!!!! )
Its like watching a crash in racing, the crowd goes crazy for it no matter how brutal it is, no one wants to see cars race around a circle for an hour the same they dont wanna see a team play unexciting hockey for an hour, and believe me, with such a small playing surface it can get very boring without the big hits n fights.
