Yet again, as the hockey season begins and the gloves begin to drop, the issue of fighting has come to the forefront of controversy with media and fans alike.
Personally I think that all this whining about fighting in hockey is ridiculous.
Having played hockey since I was five years old and having been in my fair share of tilts on the ice, whether while playing in ...
