Does Fighting Belong in Hockey?
On Jan. 2, 21-year-old amateur hockey player Don Sanderson died after three weeks in a coma, having hit his head on the ice during a fight in a Dec. 12 Ontario Hockey Association game. Sanderson's death brought to light a long-running debate about whether fighting should be allowed in hockey.
For many, the death of a player was inevitable. "It was not an accident," wrote Ken Campbell of The Hockey News. "An accident, by its very nature, is something that can't be foreseen, but we have seen this coming for years."
