as a hockey fan it has always bothered me that fighting is allowed.  i know that anyone involved in a fight is generally given a five minute penalty. i don't think that's enough.  i believe fighting of any kind should result in a five game suspension.  i think fighting will disappear with that kind of penalty.  there is no need for fighting in hockey.

I agree that fighting should not be allowed in hockey, and it should be punished with a five game suspension in order to remove it. Unfortunately, the NHL does not appear to be taking steps in that direction, and fighting still takes place in games from time to time.
