How Do We Reduce Suspensions?

In the past month, close to a dozen FSHL players were suspended for fighting, game misconduct, face-masking, obscene gestures, interfering with game officials, and other violations.

Some players missed a game. Others missed several games.

FSHL prides itself on competitiveness, as well as academics and humility. We don’t tolerate inappropriate behavior on and off the ice -- particularly fighting.  

Unfortunately, violence has been a part of ice hockey since at least the early 1900s. Many players over the history of the game have died or faced critical injuries because of kicking, hitting from behind, and prohibited stick-work.

So what can FSHL do to reduce fighting and other actions that lead to suspension?

Let us know.
