In the highly competitive world of hockey, every edge counts, and surprisingly, one significant factor that could influence a player’s development and success is their birth month.

In hockey, fighting isn’t seen as a way to injure someone, like it would be in “real life”. There is a code of sportsmanship in hockey that goes beyond the rules of the game.

When that code is broken, players will square off against the offender in defense of themselves or a teammate.
