Hockey fight (Winter Olympics ice hockey fight)

What are the rules of fighting in ice hockey

Hockey is also called "ice hockey". Ice hockey is one of the more confrontational collective ice sports that combines changeable skating skills with agile and skillful hockey skills. It is also an official event of the Winter Olympics. So, what are the fighting rules of ice hockey? Below I have collected the fighting rules of ice hockey for everyone. Welcome to read!

First of all, fighting is not allowed in ice hockey games, and fighting is also prohibited. Fighting should not be allowed in any sport, especially a team sport. However, compared to other sports, ice hockey has less severe penalties. In the North American Professional Hockey League, a one-on-one fight will result in a 5-minute penalty. This is already quite severe for a player who can only play 10 minutes in a game. If he fights three times in a row, then Directly ejected from the pitch and automatically suspended for one game. In IIHF competitions, if you get into a one-on-one fight, you will be ejected directly and will be suspended for one game. Such competitions include world championships at all levels, North American youth leagues, Olympic Games, Asian Hockey League, and Olympic qualifiers. race. But judging from the eight-game penalty and four-month suspension for biting someone in football, and the six-month suspension for a fight in basketball, the punishment for fighting in ice hockey is quite light. This is the most direct reason why many people think that ice hockey allows "one-on-one" fights. Although Zhang Cheng beat his opponent violently, he was directly ejected from the court and automatically suspended for one game.

In ice hockey games, there are very strict procedures for "one-on-one fights". If you violate it, you will be severely punished, and you may even be taken to court by the organizer and put in jail. First of all, fighting in ice hockey games must occur in the form of one-on-one, that is, one-on-one. When the game is stopped by the referee, only one-on-one situations occur. If a "third party" intervenes, then the third party You will receive more severe penalties. If a "third party" intervenes on the ice, you will be sentenced to a 10-minute violation in the NHL, plus a 2-minute minor penalty for intentional provocation, for a total of 12 minutes. If this happens in the last 5 minutes of regular time, the "third party" will be automatically suspended for one game. The International Hockey Federation's punishment for "third parties" involved in fights on the ice is more severe, and they will be directly sent off the game and automatically suspended for one game.

It is much more serious if the players on the bench become the "third party". In the NHL, if there is a fight on the ice, a player jumps from the bench into the stadium and is directly ejected. Stadium + 15-game suspension, which still has no serious consequences. If serious consequences are caused, additional suspensions will be added. The International Ice Hockey Federation punishes players who jump from the player bench to the court during the suspension period for "fighting" more severely. On January 4, 1987, a group fight occurred between Canada and the Soviet Union at the International Ice Hockey Federation World Youth Championship, except for the two teams. In addition to being expelled from the tournament and having their results invalidated, Davydov, the Soviet player who was the first to jump from the dugout onto the court and cause a brawl, was banned from the world for 18 months. The coaches and other players of both teams were banned for six months.

Secondly, it must be a face-to-face duel. No sneak attacks are allowed, no big fights are allowed, and the fight can only start when the opponent must fight. This is consistent with the description in the famous novel The Count of Monte Cristo, "If you want to duel with your opponent, throw your gloves into the opponent's face first." The same is true for ice hockey. When a duel occurs, throw the stick first and then the gloves. , if the opponent responds to the challenge, he also has to throw away the club and gloves so that he can play. In the "one-on-one" competition in ice hockey, any equipment is absolutely prohibited, including sticks, or skates for kicking. In the process of throwing gloves, some players like to use three axes. They will kill the opponent before they can react and catch the opponent off guard. However, this speed must be mastered. First, the opponent is willing to fight you, and second, he must compete with you. Taller players use this move.

If you fight your opponent without throwing a glove, although your opponent will be booed by fans, players, and media, you will be fined 5 minutes for a rough foul, plus 2 minutes for active provocation. A violation that carries a 10-minute penalty will result in a 17-minute jail sentence. If the opponent is injured, then this three-point approach will be severely punished. In the 2003-2004 NHL season, during a game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Colorado Avalanche, Canucks captain Portuzzi sneak-attacked the opponent's Moore, causing a group fight and causing the opponent's neck to be ripped off in the chaos. Portuz He was banned from the world for 18 months, and Moore retired as a result. The lawsuit between the two parties was said to have been settled last month. 而张铖这次爆揍韩国球员，韩国球员还好扔了手套，如果再快一点，没等韩国球员仍手套就招呼，那么张铖的处罚不会就是直接罚出场+停赛一场那么简单 .

Of course, there are other "organizational" procedures for heads-up. The referee will not intervene in the heads-up because it can easily lead to injuries to the referee. Generally, during a heads-up, a player falls to the ground, or one side has an advantage. Obviously, maybe both sides are unable to fight and take the initiative to stop. Only then will the linesman intervene, pounce on them, pin them down, and end the fight. The referee is stationary. One of the referees is watching the dynamics of the players on the court, and the other is watching the dynamics of the players on the bench to see who wants to be the "third party".

In addition, fighting with two ice blades also requires effort. This is the same as fighting in Shaolin with wooden stakes. It requires excellent lower body and upper body to fight, so a duel on the ice is often within tens of seconds. It will solve the battle. Those who can last for 40 seconds are races with extremely strong combat effectiveness. Finally, during the heads-up period, the goalkeeper cannot leave his own blue zone-the goal area, and he will be punished if he does.

Ice hockey is a global collective event. Its charm lies in the exquisiteness of technology, the passion of speed, the dazzling coordination, the spirit of not giving up and the splashing of snowflakes when the body contacts. To be honest, fighting is only a very small part of the ice hockey game, and has basically disappeared as a scene in the national arena. So why has "one-on-one" become a part of the ice hockey game? In addition to the relatively loose penalties compared to other sports, there are the following Several factors.

First, it is to prevent black hands and protect yourself. Hockey games are fast, fierce, require coordination, and also pay great attention to momentum. In the heart of every ice hockey player who values ??honor above life, he is always ready to sacrifice himself for the team. Therefore, in this moment of high pressure and rapid accumulation of adrenaline, the actions between players are often very large and irrational. Many heavy collisions forget the nature of sports, so stepping forward is not only to protect yourself, but also to warn your opponents. If you do it again, I will deal with you. Zhang Cheng's duel was for this purpose, and the result was a round of applause!

Second, in order to protect his young and skilled players. Each team on the ice hockey court has a clear division of labor. There are technical players and young rookies. These players need to be protected because they are the core offensive force of the team and they are also the ones who need to be focused on training. These players It is the target of the opponent's collision. If you are too cruel or too black, then the tall and strong players in the team will definitely retaliate in kind. Even if they are duel with you, it is better to be punished together than to let my core players and young players get injured. Therefore, among North American teams , every team has such a "picket" patron saint, which we call "enforcer" to protect our players.

Third, it is necessary for victory. Hockey games are all about momentum. A team that gains momentum is often invincible and invincible. However, the momentum in an ice hockey game is often the easiest to change. A goal, a beautiful save, a foul, and a mistake can often cause the momentum to change hands and the situation to change. Fighting is no exception, especially when the team is lagging behind and the momentum is completely captured by the opponent. Fighting may sometimes be the panacea for the team to come back to life, especially when its own technical players and young players step forward and compete with their opponents. When you have a head-on confrontation and use your fists, the impact on other players on the court and in the dugout is often the greatest. Zhang Cheng's attack allowed the Chinese team to unexpectedly defeat the second-best team in the league. South Korea's high school freshman, who had not won in several years, although he was sent off, the momentum he left to his teammates was indeed a magic weapon for the team to win. .

Players who can not only attack the city but also command the heroes are often regarded as gods of war by the world, such as Ovechkin of Russia, Getzlaf and Weber of the Canadian team, and Ser of Finland. Lani, Brown of the United States, these people often play the role of captain and leader in the team. In the world of ice hockey, there is a person named Gaudi Hall. He retired at the age of 53 and is known as Mr. Hockey. He often performed "hat tricks" of goals, assists and fights on the court. This hat trick is very important in today's ice hockey. The world calls it "Gordi Hall Hat Trick" for those leaders who stand up for the team.

Last point, what to watch. This is why everyone is talking about it on Weibo. These highlights are what we call Jianghu grievances. In fact, fights on the ice hockey rink are not impromptu performances, and there is a lot of background behind them. There is no love without reason, and there is no hate without reason. In last year's match between Zhang Cheng and the first-year students in high school, he dueled with his opponent, but lost to him. At that time, major media across the country even took photos showing the scene of Zhang Cheng being beaten. Time goes back and forth, and today he met the first-year students in high school again and exchanged numbers. Zhang Cheng took action when it was time to take action and took revenge severely. On January 19 last year, five one-on-one fights broke out between the NHL's Canada and Flames in the first 9 seconds. As a result, eight players were ejected directly from the court. The Canada coach ran to the opponent's locker room and staged a one-on-one fight, causing chaos. The league was suspended for 6 games. Finally, a reporter broke the news that the two coaches were enemies when they coached the youth team. Now that they have come to the NHL, they must "take the lead in strategic high ground." There are many such stories of grudges in the NHL league, and there are comparisons between heavyweight boxing champions "enforcers" every year. Of course, these are the needs of commercial promotion of professional games and are just gimmicks.

As ice hockey games become more and more exciting, more and more people watch the games, and the pace of promotion to the world is getting faster and faster. Managers and organizers are becoming more and more aware of the importance of fighting in ice hockey. The status in the country began to decrease and become lighter and lighter. Rule makers have also introduced various restrictions on fighting, such as tightening the rules on collisions. The NHL is also working on requiring players who fight to receive 5+10 penalties, and changing three fighting ejections to two fighting ejections. In the 2008 NHL season, there were more than 740 one-on-ones. In the past season, this number dropped to 430 times.

All in all, fighting is only a small part of the ice hockey game. When watching ice hockey, don’t forget its true appearance, such as smooth coordination, ingenious skills, passionate collisions and strategic formations and substitutions. People, this is the original charm of ice hockey!

A brief introduction to the reasons and rules for fighting on the ice hockey rink

First of all, "fighting" in ice hockey generally refers to one-on-one pairs between players. In a fighting situation, although there is no clear definition of victory or defeat, it is over if one party falls down, and the party that knocks the opponent down or knocks him to the ground is regarded as the winner.

Let’s talk about hockey fighting from the following aspects.

1. "Fighting" is mainly passed down as a tradition in the North American ice hockey community

In North America, players who participate in fights will be punished, but the fight itself is allowed, and the referee is not responsible for the fight. There will be no forcible obstruction before the victory or defeat is decided.

Hockey is a contact sport. The impact of intense physical contact is one of the greatest charms of ice hockey, but sometimes it can lead to injuries or excessively rough movements.

Hockey fights include the side of retaliating against excessive roughness, and also the side of suppressing excessive roughness.

In North America, there has always been debate about whether fighting should be eliminated in ice hockey, but it is still widely understood as an integral element of the sport and is passed down as a cultural legacy to this day.

In fact, in NHL games, if a fight breaks out, the entire audience will stand up, and the atmosphere will be very lively!

2. The Enforcer/Enforcer in Hockey Fights

Indispensable when talking about hockey fights is the existence of the "Enforcer".

Although the enforcer is not a formally defined role and position in the ice hockey team, it can be found in every team in the NHL. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a "hitman".

The enforcer can be said to be the fighting specialist in the team. They usually compete with other players, but they play an important role in suppressing the other's rough behavior. In the past, the hockey skills of the "executor" themselves were irrelevant, and it was the players with strong bodies and fighting spirit who assumed this role. Because the executors will fight strong opponents in almost every game, the physical and mental burden is very heavy, so many players are addicted to alcohol or drug poisoning.

However, in recent years, the role of the Executor as a "fight specialist" has become somewhat diminished. He is also active as a team's outstanding combat power in peacetime, and at the same time, he fights when tactically necessary. His role has changed subtly. The change.

3. Reasons for fights on the ice hockey rink

1. In order to retaliate for the opponent's rude behavior

This is the reason for the most fights on the ice hockey rink.

Fights often result if a player on one side engages in excessively rough behavior.

In this case, there will be fights between the rough player and the violated player, between the rough player and the opponent's enforcer, and between the enforcers of both sides.

The time for a fight may be to start a fight when rough moves occur, or there may be a fight where one party tolerates it for the time being and settles the old and new grudges at another time.

2. In order to change the unfavorable situation on the field of play

Performers sometimes look for opportunities to fight in order to change their own unfavorable situation on the field, and sometimes in order to win in the fight and boost their own side. Team morale. In this case, it is mostly a duel between the two executors.

After winning a fight, the morale of the team will be high, and the audience will be very excited!

However, if you lose, it may have the opposite effect, so fighting for this purpose is actually a kind of gambling.

3. In order to deter the opponent

The deterrence of fighting is a very important element in ice hockey.

Players who are highly skilled and pose a threat to their opponents are susceptible to fierce physical conflicts from the beginning.

In this case, the main players may not be able to show their strength for fear of contact or injury.

In order to contain fierce conflicts with one's own players, it is also one of the important strategies of ice hockey to frighten the opponent with fights.

4. In order to protect star players

In fights, star players are often stalked and dirty and brutally violated by their opponents. The function of warning the other party. In the history of the NHL, there are many "executors" who were signed to protect stars.

As mentioned above, although there are almost no players dedicated to fighting in today's NHL, even so, if there is no inhibition of fighting, the referee can only rely on the referee to make more severe foul penalties, and frequent There may be situations where players are sent off or stopped playing.

4. Fighting etiquette

It may seem like a simple fight, but in fact there are various unwritten rules.

1. Fighting is carried out on the basis of the consent of both parties.

Fighting between "executors" is basically carried out after both parties confirm each other's intentions verbally and with gestures. According to this unwritten rule, both parties can avoid being punished in an undesirable manner, or being adversely affected by an unwanted fight.

Executors respect each other even if they are enemies.

While it is not unusual for a fight to occur, if the opponent's enforcer is injured or has been consumed by fighting in a recent match, then the opponent will respect him even if he refuses to fight.

Of course, there are also sudden fights due to excessive and rough behavior.

2. Don’t make a fight during the second half of the opponent’s shift

Hockey is a physically demanding sport, and players will constantly change in about 40 seconds to 1 minute.

This alternation of appearances is called a shift change. If the opponent's performer is about to change shifts after half a day of playing, he no longer has the physical strength to fight and cannot challenge him to a fight.

3. End the fight immediately after the winner is determined

Regardless of the outcome of the fight, the player who decided to fight will accept it calmly and leave the opponent quickly once the winner is determined. . If you continue to pester the other party, not only the other party, but also your teammates and fans will be disappointed.

5. Rules and penalties for fighting

Finally, let’s introduce the rules and penalties for fighting.

1. North American rules

In North America, fighting will result in a 5-minute penalty of leaving the game. During this period, the fighting players will be locked in the penalty bin, and no one can be substituted, so We often see situations where more players beat fewer players on the ice hockey rink.

But what is very different from other professional sports is that in ice hockey fights, players will not be ejected from the game and can continue to play after the penalty time is over.

When fighting, both players must throw away their clubs and gloves and fight with bare hands.

Contestants who use props that may cause serious harm during fights will be immediately announced to have withdrawn.

If one of the parties falls down during the fight, even if the fight ends, the contestants must separate, or the fight ends and the two parties are entangled and are terminated by the referee and separated.

If you do not obey this restraint and continue fighting, you will be punished by leaving the game.

In addition, players who jump out of the bench in order to participate in a fight will also be ejected. If it is found that the coach instigated or allowed the players to participate in the fight, the coach may be fined for up to 10 games. Participate in command.

2. Rules related to European international competitions

In European leagues and international conferences, fighting is strictly prohibited.

For players who fight first, they will be severely punished and sent off, and there may be additional penalties that will affect other games in the future. Players who fight back will be sent off for at least 2 minutes.

For players who do not listen to the referee and continue to fight, they will be fined for 4 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes or even completely ejected depending on their bad nature.

In addition, players who intentionally take off their gloves during a fight will be ejected for 10 minutes.

As mentioned above, fighting is prohibited at European and international competitions, so most of the fights you see are at North American competitions.

So those who want to see a fight would be better off watching the North American Professional Hockey League.

When fighting in ice hockey, the two sides communicate physically and visually to reach the understanding that "it is okay to fight". Then the referee makes room, but he cannot hold the stick during the process. Use the sharp skates on your feet to attack each other, let alone attack others with the skates on your feet, you can only use your fists to solve problems.

Why do ice hockey rules allow fighting?

The reason why professional league events "allow" players to fight is to increase the enjoyment of the game and allow the audience to see a more exciting side of the ice hockey rink. This is also based on commercial considerations and does not encourage players." If you can move your hands, don't move your mouth." Moreover, as ice hockey players, most of them have outstanding physical conditions. If the arena is really turned into a "martial arts arena", I am afraid that dangerous scenes and actions will occur. Therefore, according to the description of Yingda’s son Ying Rudi: “Even under the tacit consent of the rules, athletes participating in professional competitions all understand each other: fighting on the ice hockey rink must also comply with the rules of fighting, and everyone must strictly abide by it. , cannot attack the other party with malicious intent.
