My first question is “Do you play hockey?” You really have no idea how you are going to behave until you are in a situation that presents full contact. Case in point, I play hockey and I also do not agree with fighting. That said, and a very arguement to your “Football” comment, is that hockey is conact ALL the time; where in football, it’s hut, hut and contact for about 10 seconds, a break, pause…and then hut hut. What I’m saying is that there are down-times between plays. But in the case of hockey, it’s non-stop. and to get back to my point, even the most mild mannered person..er, player will eventually get bumped enough to push them to retaliate. I am always surpised at how I react to the pushing and bumping (and I am no fighter at all). Again, having said that, if you do not play hockey, you can speculate all you want about what should and should not happen to players who fight, but until you lace up and go out there, you have no grounds.
