They know what they're getting themselves into and they've obviously agreed to fight. I do realize getting jumped/attacked is different however. I don't know I was always under the impression that fights are illegal no matter the circumstances, unless it's MMA or something revolved around fighting. I thought the fights in the NHL were real fights and not so much a part of the sport itself, am I wrong?[/quote] Where I live fights aren't considered illegal if both participants are willing. Fights are considered part of hockey by the NHL, so it is part of the game when playing at that level. If you were playing in some of the European leagues where they aren't considered part of the game then it would be different.
