I attend UND and the Fans go nuts when there is a scrum in the corner or at center Ice. I think that the NCAA is watering down hockey with their weak rules. Hockey is a physical game, it is also a game of intimidation. By not having some fighting in college hockey you will end up with a European brand of hockey which involves a lot of stick work. There a lot of people I know that don't like the European brand of hockey we like a hard checking brand of physical hockey and frankly I think that more people would like to see an occasional fight in a game and not have the player get severly punished for it.
