The QMJHL has made a controversial announcement earlier today.
New Rules to Ban Fighting
The major junior league instaured strict rules to discourage fights.
Automatic game misconduct for a fight instead of a major penalty and a 10-minute misconduct.
Automatic one-game suspension for the instigator.
Two-game suspension for an aggressor.

This could have a big impact on the global landscape of major junior hockey in Canada.
Do you think this will inspire other leagues to ban fights?
