Background[]
- Ice Guardians (film) is a documentary about Template:NHL enforcers, featuring interviews with several former hockey players who were tasked with fighting on the ice in an attempt to deter opponents from going after their skilled teammates.
In the last few years, the health risks associated with fighting in hockey and the long-term effects on the players have become well-publicized, leading many fans (including myself) to believe fighting should no longer have a place in the sport. The documentary didn't do anything to change my mind on that front, but it was definitely interesting to see how these players see themselves and how the sport in general sees them.
