Hockey is without a doubt the best sport in the world. You can definitely name a few sports that are on the verge of becoming your favourites, but in my opinion, the fighting is one of many reasons, especially when it results in a five-minute break in the penalty box instead of the suspension that occurs in most sports.
Fighting seems to be declining over time in all hockey leagues due to the enforcement of many rules. The ECHL, one of the fiercest hockey leagues on the East Coast where players are known to let their knuckles fly more than in any other league, is careless with any restrictions that are put in place.
