Hockey Fights, a website devoted to chronicling fights and their statistics, has been around for decades. But as fighting as phased out, how is the site surviving? 'It’s like a train wreck, you know?' ✍️ jkamckenzie
— who has 80 fights, according to the website — use Hockey Fights as a sort of game tape.
Retired NHL enforcer John Scott would spend hours tumbling down into the Hockey Fights rabbit hole, watching fights, reading the comment section and revisiting his own battles. What began as a simple blog in the 1990s has since evolved into the website we know today, a database that players and fans use to scout other fighters in the present day from the NHL, junior leagues, European leagues and low-level professional leagues like the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey, based in Quebec. Hockey Fights publishes original profiles and hasits own podcast — a show hosted by Scott called “Dropping the Gloves.” They even sell clothing through the company Violent Gentlemen.
David Singer, a New York native and television executive, is the reason Hockey Fights has been able to log so many stats and recollections from the days when fighting was more in vogue. He got his start as a blogger in the 1990s, compiling fight stats on his own before other internet users started to chip in and help out. Singer bought the domain name hockeyfights.com in 1999, and the site grew from there.
