I found this story on SI today. Its a few years old but i found it really interesting. I never really thought about the mental aspect of having this be your job. unfortunately it is something i don't think we will see anymore in hockey. Im not for having the guys in the NHL that cant skate at all but i will be very pissed if fighting is banned outright it is one of the things that makes hockey unique and lets be honest what hockey fan doesn't enjoy a good fight from time to time.
