3Gabby replied to 5caleb's discussion Should Fighting Get Taken out of Hockey?
"I think that fighting should be taken out of hockey because it can become dangerous. It's also unnecessary to the game and is more for entertainment than anything. If people want to watch fights, they can watch a fight-based sport instead of hockey.…"
