Do Enforcers Still Exist in Hockey? Modern NHL Fight Roles

If you've spent any time on Reddit or hockey Twitter lately, you've probably seen the question pop up: are enforcers still a thing in hockey? It's usually asked by someone who just watched Matt Rempe try to dismantle a human being, or maybe someone who tuned out around 2011 and is just getting back into the sport. The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, but they don't look like Bob Probert anymore. The game has changed, the rules have tightened, and the days of the three-minute-per...

Written from the perspective of a lifelong Bruins fan who spotted a Gregory Campbell Bruins sweater in the crowd during the 2025-26 season, it covers the Merlot Line Boston Bruins history, the heavyweight fight record of Shawn Thornton Bruins fans still talk about, and th...

The Best 2024-2025 NHL Fights

From blue-line brawls to full-blown melees, this season was a gritty masterclass in one of the sport of hockey’s greatest differentiators: dropping the gloves. The 2024–25 NHL season didn’t just deliver highlight-reel goals and breakout rookies. It delivered pugilistic carnage.

The Top 5 Fighters in the NHL - 2024

There’s been a lot of hockey on as of late that featured zero fights. The NHL All Star game, the Beanpot, and "any Boston Bruins game" to name a few. Seriously, I don’t even remember the last time the Bruins had a fight. I see scraps throughout the National, and other leagues, so I know it’s still a "thing" - just not with our beloved Bruins. Bruins on Their Best Behavior A couple weeks ago in a 4-0 trouncing of the Philadelphia Flyers, there wasn’t so much as a cross word. Last nig...

About Chris

Chris is from the hardscrabble streets of Concord, MA. A born hockey player, he’s lead every league he’s ever played in – from street hockey in front of the house, to the California Penal League in PIM. In High School his dreams of playing in the NHL were shattered when he was introduced to Budweiser and the United States Marine Corps. That, coupled with the fact there isn’t much call for a 5’6? defenseman who skates like he has a parachute attached to his hindquarters, dashed his dreams of one day playing in the show. Always a fan of the tough guys, his love of hockey and hockey fights has continued to this day. Chris currently resides in Fitchburg, MA with his beloved Beez. At least until she comes to her senses and kicks him out. Chris would love to hear your personal goon experiences and stories so please feel free to email him, anytime.

Two fights in the game as well, and Orr is second star. Did a long lap. Good for him.
