Fighting Is Out In USA Hockey

Multiple sources attending the USA Hockey summer meetings in Colorado are reporting that we have seen the end of fighting as it has been known to exist in Junior Hockey.

While it has not been made clear if the rule will take effect in the 2014-2015 season or 2015-2016, fighting is for all intents and purposes, done.

The new rule will mandate that players who fight will now get a game ejection.

Escalating penalties such as additional suspensions are also expected to be part of the new rule for those that continue to fight.

This new rule will be very close to the new rules adopted in Hockey Canada.

TJHN will update this story as more information becomes available.
