Re: Kids fighting

I wonder if anyone has done any research into the damaging affect of fighting on young, developing bodies ... I do believe that Hockey Canada, which oversees organized hockey in Canada, has rules about the amount of contact allowed at certain levels. Somewhere between "no contact for the six-year-olds and complete mayhem for those in their teens." I sort of get the impression that the problem here is with the parents and not with the sport. MMA is becoming a major sport, with all kinds of coverage on TV and with the big events in UFC on pay-per-view. So, apart from character building there is the potential for a big bucks future for those with talent.
