I played rep for years and a few games for junior C but then had an injury and had to stop playing. I truely believe that some fights really do give your teammates a lift the same as a big hit. But what really helps teams bond is a fight after a dirty play by a teammate. The player who sticks up for his player doesn't even have to win. He gains alot of respect and it definately helps the team knowing that everyones got everyone elses back. Helps with the team chemistry and bonding. We had a bench clearing brawl once, pure craziness but we all got together for a party after and had alot of laughs.
But it's definately a hard aspect for a game.

i fully agree, hardest part of hockey to represent in a game form, because even though there are fights that happen once in a while in other sports, it is a very unique thing in hockey. even the possability of a fight is enough to scare some people off.
And what you say there is true, but that would be too much for most any game to simulate, but i agree 100%. It will be interesting how they come up with fight wins and what it means within gameplay itself. And hopfully their will be no random goofyness in the other games where a John Kordic fights Steve Kasper, and they just get their 5 minute penalties so it looks nice in the statistics at the end to say, oh look there a fight in my game, its so realistic. In such a case Kasper is missing a few games with a busted up face, or more likely Jay Miller or Lyndon Byers has arrived 1 second later. So again will be interesting how it all plays out from the standpoint of game play.
