More Blows Directed At Fighting In Hockey

From the CP, via TSN,

Former NHL referee-in-chief Bryan Lewis says fighting in hockey is on the way out.

Lewis was part of a Violence in Hockey Symposium staged Tuesday by the Middlesex-London Health Unit, a gathering of hockey officials, coaches, media members and a former professional player at the London Convention Centre.

“I believe the screw is finally being turned,” Lewis said in an interview.

“I think it’s slowly being removed from the game.”

The symposium, attended by 98 coaches, trainers and administrators, sought recommendations leading to a decrease in injuries resulting from gratuitous violence on the ice.”

Read on for some very good points and telling tales. I expect I will be adding to this discussion sometime this week.

Who is SENShobo?

Fully addicted to hockey, Andrew Dodds finds it safe to live in the alleys, considering his allegiance to the Ottawa Senators in the middle of Leaf County. He tries to bring you as many worthwhile Sens stories as he can find, along with his musings on the team and the NHL in general; musings indeed since he is but a humble hockey hobo.

If you have any general comments, questions, suggestions, or concerns about myself or my blog and its content, you can post them publicly here, or drop me an email.
