I mean, the joke is among us hockey fans that we went to a boxing match and a hockey game broke out. It's not really all that true anymore, to be completely honest, but it used to be. It's still a very physical game, and you will see a lot of pushing and shoving, and maybe someone takes a quick swing here and there, but fights are rare these days. All out brawls even rarer. A few decades ago, though, fighting and bench clearing brawls were quite common. I mean, “Fight Night at the Joe” (or “Brawl in Hockeytown”) is considered one of the sport's greatest moments for a reason. Quite a few documentaries have been made about that night, and the anniversary of it is celebrated every year. But, if something like that were to happen today, it would be SHOCKING.
