Fighting In Hockey

Serge Savard, Hall of Fame Defensemen during 17-year NHL career, and former captain and General Manager (12 seasons) of the Montreal Canadiens says fighting was “the toughest part of my career as a young player. I never wanted to fight, but I was forced to fight. That’s not the way I was born and raised, and I don’t think that’s sports.”

”You can live with the spontaneous fight. That’s something that can happen between brothers, two kids getting into a fight because of an argument. But you don’t want the designated hitter. That’s my view.”

Amen. (Where have you gone Stan Jonathan? 1977-78 G 24, A 25, Pts. 52; PIMs 116; +34)
