Should fighting be allowed in professional hockey?

Faith Lemanu

In my opinion, fighting should not be allowed in professional hockey. Even though some people might think that fighting is just part of the game and that it adds excitement, the truth is that it is actually dangerous and can cause serious injuries to the players.

Players who engage in fighting risk getting hurt, including getting hit in the head or getting into a dangerous fall on the ice. These injuries can impact a player's physical and mental well-being, and possibly end their career. Additionally, fighting can promote bad sportsmanship and unsportsmanlike behavior.

Furthermore, fighting can also detract from the enjoyment of the game. Younger viewers, including children, might see fighting as normal and okay, which could lead to further complications in the future.

While fighting may have been accepted in hockey in the past, the world and society have changed. As such, it is best to focus on skill, strategy, teamwork and good sportsmanship instead of violence and fighting.

Therefore, it is my belief that fighting should not be allowed in professional hockey. Instead, it should be a safe and enjoyable sport for everyone to watch.
