Mark Messier recently sat down with Tyler at NHL Digest to discuss fighting and head protection. Here part of what Messier said..."Fighting has always been a part of hockey, and I personally believe that it will continue to be one aspect of our game. Part of what makes hockey so entertaining is that it requires physical and mental toughness. But as the game continues to evolve, I believe that player safety and better protection need to be our top priority. If that means instituting a rule – like Hockey Canada – that makes it mandatory to keep your helmet on in a fight, I would support it."
...i really can't stand the fair weather hockey fans that look down on fighting. It has been and always will be an integral part of the game. Its part of what separates hockey from any other sport. You want to rough up a team's superstar, you better be ready to throw down.
