I dont watch Hockey but I see no point in allowing it. If you need it for the sport to survive then it sounds to me like its pointless sport anyway. If they want to fight go get in a ring.

really hockey fights are meant to spark a team into getting goals or big hits
they rarely happen especially during playoffs
but if a teams halfway through the 2nd period and theyre down by 2 goals, you need something like that to get you going!

Absolutely not. Not in a million years, it's an integral part of the sport that is often used to alter the tempo of a bad game and change momentum, people often don't understand that it's actually a part of the strategy of the sport.

I mean, logically it would be in the NHL's best interest not to ban them, it's often the thing most non fans like most about the sport, taking that away will alienate many who may use the interest in fights as a stepping stone of gathering interest for the game.

On the other hand, how many people don't watch the sport because they think it's barbaric.

It's the only sport in the world that allows fighting, and it's only the NA part of hockey that allows.

I understand purists want it there, but I think it should go but I would probably think once it's gone, nobody will remember it. Hell, 9/10's of the fights suck anyways.

Its part of the tradition of the sport, people want it as part of the experience.

The Players should be made to keep their helmets on though, so they don�t smack their head open if they fall.

Well, its a fight. You can't really keep those helmets on when they are fighting.

In most cases, the helmet always falls off during a fight.

Very few avoid the sport because of fights.

More people watch the sport for the fights than stay away because of them.

if you think its a barbaric sport now you should have seen how bad it was in the beginning of the NHL many people had to retire early because of severe injuries that were life threatening.

and the only reason some of the fights suck is because the refs step in before the players whore fighting can really draw some blood

I wouldn't think so.

But there isn't really any evidence to show either point of views.
