Ranking the Best Fighters Via Formula

Chicago researcher ranks best and worst hockey fighters

Six years ago, Blackhawks star Marian Hossa, then playing for the Detroit Red Wings, got into a fight. That’s pretty rare. Hossa’s not known as a fighter, but Walsh says he should be.
“Hossa is really highly rated. Actually, out of 1425 fighters, approximately, he’s in the top 25,” Walsh said.

I like Joe Walsh. He's a nice guy. I can't say I like his formula, but it's always fun to run these. I'll have to get him an updated dataset. Maybe we can see how well Hossa holds up.
