Ice hockey allows fighting? And there are thugs! What's going on here?

The reason why ice hockey allows players to "fight legally" is simple. Ice hockey is fast, and physical contact often occurs, which increases the possibility of friction and fighting. Secondly, from officials to players to fans, it is acknowledged that fighting is part of the ice hockey game. Once the scene is too calm, the audience will not buy it. Ice hockey adopts the rule of acquiescence to players 1 to 1 one-on-one with bare hands, which can release the accumulated emotions of players in the game, meet the needs of the audience for eye addiction, and increase the highlights of the game and the propaganda points of sports.

In ice hockey, players who are allowed to participate in the competition must not attack each other with clubs and sharp skates on their feet. According to the rules of the ice hockey league, both sides must take off their protective gear and are only allowed to solve problems with their fists. Before a fight, the two sides usually make physical and eye contact, reach a knowledge that they can fight, and then throw away the clubs, hats and gloves for formal engagement.

Executor (player who specializes in ice hockey)

NHL (North American Hockey League) has an executor, which refers to the role that each team is responsible for fighting. When the opponent moves too much in the game, or his teammates are challenged, such players will take the lead in fighting. Sometimes, due to tactical needs, such players will also provoke the core players of the other side through "exchange" and weaken the combat effectiveness of the other side. Wait for the referee to punish you after the fight (the departure time depends on the seriousness of the case). The executors of both sides are generally tall and strong players who are not afraid of fighting. Almost every game will give fists to opponents, and they are often the stars of the team and have many admirers.
