The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League is not experiencing any pushback as a result of its decision to effectively outlaw fighting. General managers and coaches have been considerate of the choice, said according to league spokeswoman Maxime Blouin. Blouin noted on Saturday that “some of them are actually former high-level hockey players.” They are aware of the effects of injuries both during and after their hockey careers.

Players who have had 15 to 20 concussions are aware of how it affects their daily life. As a result, the sport and mentalities are changing, and I believe this is leading to a safer atmosphere. Blouin stated that the ban is intended to protect the players, who can be as young as 16, and aid in their skill development in a secure setting.

Boulin claimed that because most video games lack fighting, the culture is already shifting in that direction. Everyone knows that fighting is not what hockey is about, I believe, he remarked. “Go to boxing or MMA if you want to fight.

Hockey enforcers are members of an ice hockey team who are tasked with retaliating physically against any violent or cheap shots directed at one of their teammates.

Fighting is already prohibited in every league other than junior and professional levels. There will undoubtedly be scrums and brawls, but no player is allowed to drop the gloves, and all players must be at least 18 years old or in college.

While the QMJHL has a widespread prohibition, professional hockey is mostly reliant on money, hence the likelihood that fighting will be outlawed is almost 1% lower. The NHL, like the NFL, already has a concussion protocol in place, as well as concussion spotters stationed around the arena. Because these spotters are so skilled at what they do, even a minor request can trigger them to remove a player off the ice.
