What about if you were kitted out in armour plates, helmets and given skates to prance about on? Even I would fancy my chances then, and I'm a really big sissy.
If they kept the gloves on their hands and helmets on their heads I'd be happier.

you try fighting while staying upright on ICE

these guys punch seriously hard, people have had to have facial reconstructive surgery after fights (todd fedoruk) and a lot of people have got brain damage/personality swings as a result of fighting in hockey, with some leading to suicide.....

Serious injuries have happened to professional wrestlers as well - so yes, potentially 'fights' such as that in the clip above can cause real injuries but I'm far from being convinced that ice hockey fights are little more than crowd pleasers.

Our local club is the most successful in French history, sadly haven't won a championship since 1979. Maybe I should suggest starting a fight to get the fire in their belly and the crowd behind them?
Never seen a fight in a match over this way.

That one was 'for the fans'.
Orange were getting tonked 7-0 at home.

That goes way beyond a heat of the moment punch up into the realms of pure thuggery, IMO.

Let's hope that that... tomfoolery...doesn't escalate into blind, ugly violence. Which lets face it, none of us want to see.

Generic joke about the French never fighting and always surrendering
