It makes the game exciting and differs it from every other sport. In my opinion hockey is the most physical of the sports and the most exciting to watch especially when there is a fight. There's always a degree of excitement when you know you're favorite team is about to play their rival, that not only is the pressure going to be on and that all the plays are going to be toward the big W, but that there's an anomosity on the ice and there's the possibility of a fight and the hype of who is going to win. I believe that whether fighting is there or not, i will forever remain a true-blue hockey fan, but I do believe that the sport may lose a lot of fans, which i don't believe it can afford. Hockey fans are limited, and I still don't understand why. Even the statistics show that the element that women enjoy about hockey is the fighting, and hey who doesn't want more women fans? Is there anything hotter then a girl who understands the game? Keep fighting, keep the fans. I understand eliminating staged fights, but don't change the game i’ve grown up watching hockey and even though there are many different elements to the game that i thoroughly enjoy, fighting is in the top three.
