Fights are still something that happen here and there in junior hockey, though it is hard to call what went down during this junior hockey game a fight, as it was more like an assault.
During a GOJHL game with the Fort Erie Meteors and Port Colborne Sailors, a Sailors player seemed to get extremely upset over something that happened in the corner, and decided to jump a Meteors player in the corner, ripping of his helmet unexpectedly.
For the incident, the player was handed a 4-game suspension for intent to injure. If the League is looking to get rid of fighting in general, this could be considered a low punishment given the nature of the play.
Do you think the suspension was fit for the crime?
