It's still going relatively strong. Last season saw the most fights (127) since 2012-13 Season when there was 143 fights. However, there were 90 more games played last season compared to 2012-13.
The overall fights per game stat last season is 0.33 with it being 0.48 back in 2012-13. So far this season it is at 0.40 fights per game, with there having been 25 fights in 63 games so far.
The one dimensional enforcers have gone from the league. Guys like Brian McGrattan, Jay Rosehill, Boris Valabik, Cam Janssen, Brad Plumton, Benn Olsen, Derek Campbell, Bryan Jurynec, Colt King, Devin DiDiomete etc. have pretty much all gone. There is still the tough guys, no nonsense power forward type players, tough stay at home defencemen though, like Jacob Doty, Zack Fitzgerald, Mark Louis. The most notorious currently in the league is probably Josh Gratton but he's seemed relatively tame so far.
Staged fights are pretty much gone. Fights will occur mostly as a result of hits and dirty plays. It's a very physical league, big tough players mixed with smaller skill players, and things get heated as you'd expect. One key factor is the officiating, referee's in the EIHL are sub standard compared to most professional leagues and there's been many cases of dirty hits not being called, or a player only getting a 10 minute misconduct, so as soon as they're back out the penalty box or on for their next shift, it's not all that surprising if the gloves come off. Call it self policing I guess.
