I think you need to learn a bit more about the game before
making comments.
NOBODY is talking about fighting.
The original comment was about BODY CHECKING.
In the women's game, BODY CHECKING IS A PENALTY. You cannot use
any of the physical techniques of hockey, they are all removed.
That is why I am comparing to touch football. I am not saying
that NFL/CFL/WFL football would be a better game if they were
allowed to fight.
What I am saying is that non-contact football (touch football) is
simply not football. The same for non-contact hockey.
It's fun, it requires skill, and we can respect those that
do well at it. But it's not hockey.
