A Site Worth Fighting For


The NHL is disregarded. No one cares or even knows that the Stanley Cup Finals is going, let alone that its going into game 7 in Hockey town with the best story line hockey's had for decades. Am I going to try to convert you to hockey? Maybe. Are you going to spend hours on this site? Yep.

Imagine a website devoted only to the art of the enforcer, the art of hockey fighting.... welcome to hockeyfights.com. A site wholly devoted to the best fights in the game. This site ranks the best fights, the best team awards, keeps track of penalty minutes just from fighting, and number of punches landed. Here is one of their favorites.



This is why hockey is awesome. They do the face off, they drop the gloves without even thinking and just go at it! The art of the enforcer. Before you think these guys are just brainless brutes (which they are) understand that they do this for a reason. They beat down the other enforcers to protect their own skill guys (Why do you think Wayne Gretzky was so good? He had 2 of the greatest enforcers in the history of hockey. Most guys only get 1.) At any rate, Hockey is very underrated and I hope this site teaches you a thing or two.

This is hilarious. I love how the refs don't even try to stop it.

I love hockey for the fact that fighting is encouraged and the only thing that happens to them is they get time in the box.

I would love to see a UFC special on ice skates.
