OHL Major Crackdown on Fighting

OHL has boosted the suspension to 3 games for taking part in a certain number of fights.  I agree with this and think the threshold for penalties should come sooner?

Yup.  Fighting should be banned from all levels of hockey, but especially Junior, where 20 year olds can face punch 16 year olds.

Expect the stickwork and dangerous hits to increase without fear of retribution.  We're creating a situation where kids will be allowed to play like Brad Marchand without having to worry about being held accountable for their actions.

 

I'm terrified a policy like this will be implemented at the NHL level before they get serious about fixing the officiating problem.

It's amazing that they still get away with minors in unregulated fights on skates. It's going to go, just a matter of when.
