Fighting in Hockey and the State of the Game in Britain | Kalle Uusitalo

from The Talking Ass · host Daniel Orvomaa

Kalle Uusitalo is the most successful General Manager in the history of the BUIHA International All Stars. After some reminiscing of their very own Heated Rivalry, Kalle and Danny dive into the contentious topic of fighting in hockey. Kalle actually has a degree in this stuff, so he knows that it isn’t just about throwing punches - it’s a complex dance of risk and protection without which skilled players could easily become targets. We finish with some discussion about the state of the game in Britain, Kalle being a shining example of what hockey culture in the UK can be at its best.Check out the British Universities Ice Hockey Association website and find your nearest rink on this useful map.
