New article showing dramatic decrease in NHL fighting rates during the past 20 years, while fan attendance increased. More evidence to #StoptheFight and prevent head trauma. @OrthoColumbia

More influential research coming out of @OrthoColumbia by @drcharliepopkin and team. Time to make fighting a game misconduct in the NHL. #stopthefight

Fighting in professional ice hockey: it’s time for a change. The time is now to stop hockey’s most blatant cause of head trauma. The @NHL should make fighting a game misconduct for the 22-23 season.RT #Stopthefight 🏒https://t.co/7dyXjeWQN4
