From Eric Duhatschek in the Globe & Mail:
“People ask me about fighting and I really don’t know sometimes what I want,” said Regier. “I believe that things are going to happen over time, where I don’t think society is always going to accept (fighting).
“I see it in Canada now. There was a poll about fighting (conducted by the Harris-Decima firm, in which 54 per cent of Canadians surveyed favoured a unilateral ban on fighting, while 40 per cent wanted to retain the status quo). If you go back 10 years, I don’t think those numbers would be anywhere close to where they are right now.
“So I think it’s going to be more of a statement of the position of society – and I’m talking about true hockey fans, and their culture.”

These types of ‘polls’ shouldn’t be taken into consideration until the actual demographics are revealed. They’re taken on the street in the middle of the day, not at an actual hockey game with the people who actually watch the game.
I was watching the Flames vs. Predators last week, and the Predators TV station polled their audience - 94% in favour of keeping fighting in hockey the way it is.
