Many of these guys know each other, train together and are just doing their jobs. When I played AAA years ago, I remember fighting a good friend of mine and we both bloodied each other up a bit. After the game my girlfriend and I met up with him and his girl for a drink at the pub that night with split lips and bloody knuckles. Once you leave the rink, there is little to no animosity. Just good fun.

tbf as well, players will be transferred over from other teams. one season they be opposing players, next season they are teammates and vice versa. i spose that unwritten rule of what happens in the rink stays in the rink helps in that regard

That’s a great story, reminds me in junior when my best bud and I squared up Center ice took each other’s buckets off and went punch for punch until the refs split us up. Security got called down into the hallway cause we were hugging and laughing and they thought we were brawling after. After we went and got hammered. He was also the best man at my wedding

Hockey is so fast paced and the emotions get so high that it needs fighting as a relief valve. The players police themselves with it too. If you take dirty shots at people expect someone to come pay you back.

[@EgbertWilliams]

I'm pretty sure "buddy" is as common in the States as it is in Canada.

[@bleedingblue7854]

Many fights occur simply as a means to rally your teammates and ignite the crowd. The mutual respect most players have for each other allow them to pat each other on the back after a good tilt. Fighting is also a way for the game to self-police itself and protect the star players i.e. you take a run at our star and you'll have to answer the bell. Nowadays, the penalties for fighting and the evolution of the game as a faster and more skillful style of play has all but eliminated the "need" for fighting and the requirement of every team having 1 or 2 designated "enforcers." Without the fear of retribution, you have the increased likelihood of more cheap shots and liberties taken with star players.

[@zerodarktitan1018]

When i grew up in Saskatchewan, Canada, this was literally the fighting mentality. If you had major beef, you would pick a time and place to be at, people would show up with beers, and the two people would duke it out without anyone jumping in. Once the fight is over, the two would shake hands and have a beer. This was how fighting was in highschool, and its a lot more respected way of handling beef.

[@kvalukis]

Here before it gets blocked! 🤣 The guy who said he was just trying to amp the team, that's Shawn Thornton. He's an enforcer, not particularly skilled with the puck or with shooting and doesn't get as lot of minutes, but he's out there to set the tone of the game, make hits and occasionally fight. Scrappy guy. The enforcer role doesn't really exist anymore in NHL though. Not like it used to anyway. Cheers

It is still law across all of Washington state from what I understand. As long as it's a mutual fight and no weapons are involved, no one is seriously injured, no bystanders are injured, and no property destroyed, it can be deemed a 'mutual combat' and even if the authorities show up they can just file a report of two people having a mutual combat and both people are free to go with no charges.

[@JLewis1979]

In a couple of US states there are what are considered 'mutual combat' laws. (Washington and Texas mainly) In those states if you and someone BOTH agree to a fair fight and no bystanders get hurt or property is damaged, a fair fist fight is legal. Fair being similar in hockey where once you have the advantage or KO the opponent, you don't seriously injure them by continuing to pound on them. If police are called they have the option to simply write a statement or report that two people had a mutual combat and if no one is seriously injured, that's about all that happens. In my teens and early 20's (20+ years ago) if two people wanted to fight you simply agreed to meet at a location (Usually a field or sand pit) at a certain time and have a good scrap. There were normally 10-50 spectators and they would break it up once one person had clearly won. I have a few great friends to this day that I've had a fight with in the past. Normally once the fight was over, you dusted off, had a few beers, and laughed about it. I may have a crooked nose and a missing tooth, but I wouldn't trade it all back for the memories and laughs I have with my friends now. Now it seems that teens and young men tend to resort to carrying weapons, which to me is truly sad. A good fight is a great way to get your angst and anger out, but weapons only end up with someone seriously hurt and the other in jail or prison.

[@jdubb803]

I love hockey! The sportsmanship of asking to fight and greeting each other is great. It's a respect thing. I wonder for you guys in UK if football is like what they show in the movie "green street hooligans" where each teams have "firms" that fight each other. Is that an actual thing over there?

In regards to your first comment of guys not jumping each other by asking first, that's part of The Code. The Code is hockey's "rules of gentlemanly conduct" if you will. For example, you saw one ask the other if he wanted to fight. Another would staring down, shaking your gloves as an indicator, and then dropping them. There are stories of guys getting in scrums and saying they were playing that night with one of their shoulders hurt, so they agreed that he would "grab" with the injured arm and punch with the other, and vice versa. Maybe they got their bell rung the night before so the other teams enforcer will leave him alone that game. There is a really good video on it, I believe it's just titled The Code. I'm sure "The Code- Hockey" would produce a result.
