Sometimes hockey players lose their cool on the ice and

get into a fight with an opponent.  The fights look

spontaneous and unplanned, but there are many techniques

and tricks that will help a player to be a better fighter. 

      When a fight begins, the first thing to do is to drop your

stick and gloves onto the ice.  It is always better to punch

with your bare fists so it hurts the opponent more.  Also, it is

easier to grab with your bare hands.  Next, you must rip off

the opponents helmet by grabbing the back of the helmet

and pulling it toward yourself.  Once you have the helmet off,

the real rumble begins.  From this point on in the scuffle,

there are a few very successful techniques used by the best of

the pros to win the fight. 

      One very good way to win is to, first, punch the

opponent in the stomach so he bends over toward you.  Next,

grab the bottom of the back side of his jersey and forcefully

pull it over his head.  By pulling the jersey over the

opposition's head, you make it so he can't see or move his

arms very well.  With the jersey over his head, you can finish

the fight by throwing the punches that you throw the

hardest to your opponent's face and stomach. 

      Another good technique is to grab the opponent's collar

of his jersey right below his chin with one hand and pull him

foreword quickly.  While you slam him forward, use your

other hand to punch him in the face.  This technique hurts

the opponent the most because his momentum moving

toward you makes the blow twice as hard as an ordinary

punch.  Continue to use this technique over and over until

the fight is done.  The opponent usually will not know where

he is, so it will be a fairly easy fight. 

      Along with the previous techniques, there are also a few

tips that will help you out.  First of all, avoid throwing your

opponent on to the ice.  When you do this, the referees can

easily break up the brawl.  Also, always keep your hands up to

be able to block blows to the face and head area.  Lastly, try

not to pull the opponent's hair.  This is considered to be very

cheap in a hockey fight. 

      On a final note, by following all these tips and

techniques, you will be a good fighter in hockey.  When you

do get into a fight, use these techniques along with your own

style.  It will be very pleasing to you and spectators if you

have your own signature fighting style.  Although these tips

and tricks mentioned will help you to fight well, they do not

always assure a painless victory.  An opponent will sometimes

sneak in a few lucky punches.  Try to avoid getting hit in

tender areas such as the nose and eyes by moving your head

aside when an incoming fist comes.  In closing, fight smart,

and you will fight successfully.
