Correct Craig. Hockey players have the worst helmet ever invented for contact sports. They also get in a lot of fights and often get their bell rung or outright knocked out.
I don’t want to argue with you, but I remember games from the 70s and 80s and compared to those decades, there are no longer a lot of fights in the NHL.
Even the past 3 years alone have seen a dramatic decrease in fighting majors.
Let’s also not forget that it’s a penalty now if you take off your helmet before a fight, so that has certainly led to (1) a decrease in fights because players don’t want to break their hands and (2) less concussions when a player goes down and hits his head on the ice.
Hockey is my #1 major sport, so I’m game for some hockey talk if you are.
