Earlier in the afternoon, the QMJHL made a divisive announcement.
To prevent fights, the major junior league implemented strict regulations.
Automatic game misconduct for fighting instead of a large penalty and 10-minute misconduct.
One-game automatic stop of the trigger.
Suspension of two games for the aggressor.
Change the rules of battles
Automatic ejection to combat instead of Major and 10 minutes
Automatic stop match of the agitator
Suspension of two games for the aggressor #QMJHL

This could dramatically change how junior hockey is played in Canada around the world.
Do you think other leagues will follow suit and make the fight outlaw?
