How to Fight in Hockey Successfully
Sometimes hockey players lose their cool on the ice and
get into a fight with an opponent. The fights look
spontaneous and unplanned, but there are many techniques
and tricks that will help a player to be a better fighter.
When a fight begins, the first thing to do is to drop your
stick and gloves onto the ice. It is always better to punch
with your bare fists so it hurts the opponent more. Also, it is
easier to grab with your bare hands. Next, you must rip off
the opponents helmet by grabbing the back of the helmet
and pulling it toward yourself. Once you have the helmet off,
the real rumble begins. From this point on in the scuffle,
there are a few very successful techniques used by the best of
the pros to win the fight.
One very good way to win is to, first, punch the
opponent in the stomach so he bends over toward you.

A fight during junior ice hockey game between Frö...Next,
grab the bottom of the back side of his jersey and forcefully
pull it over his head. By pulling the jersey over the
opposition's head, you make it so he can't see or move his
arms very well. With the jersey over his head, you can finish
the fight by throwing the punches that you throw the
hardest to your opponent's face and stomach.
Another good technique is to grab the opponent's collar
of his jersey right below his chin with one hand and pull him
foreword quickly. While you slam him forward, use your
other hand to punch him in the face. This technique hurts
the opponent the most because his momentum moving
toward you makes the blow twice as hard as an ordinary
punch. Continue to use this...
