Do you know if a hockey player has ever sued another player or another team over a fight, and if so, what the outcome was? In a kind of parallel, our courts have ruled that an NFL player can sue another player, and his team, for batteries that go so far beyond the rules of football that they don't fall within the conduct a player consents to by playing.

Both sides took their lumps in this one.
Henry Boucha sued many years ago over getting his eye gouged out by Forbes of the Bruins. Didn't get much money if I recall correctly.
For Gods sake the game has become a namby sport for a few years now.
Doctors and do gooders are wrecking the sport. yes I have always liked
the fights but I also like good plays and goal tending.
We have the wimps too like the Sedins they couldn't take the pounding of
good ole Boston. I am a Montreal fan but I cheered for Boston over the
Canucks.
Hockey is a sport that needs some rule changes only because of the speed

You've only watched a few games since the 60's? Let me update you. Jean Beliveau retired. Tim Horton started a donut shop then he died.
The game is way more violent today than it was in the old days. Want a good laugh, watch the Flyers vs Red Army game from the 70's. It was said to be all so rough. The Russians left the ice to protest. Looking at it today that game was like touch hockey. A no hitter by today's standard.
