The notion that, in 2022, the AHL is some wild west goon league is so laughably outdated. I watch the AHL probably just as much as, if not more than the NHL anymore. I have a 12 game season ticket package for the Bears for the second year in a row and haven't seen a fight in person in a year and a half (granted there was one in a game I couldn't attend last season). Scrums are usually once or twice a game at most and get broken up by the refs in 5 seconds or less. There is a recent rule that suspends players after their tenth fight of the season. It's not even as intense as it was 10-15 years ago.
