This isn't a good thing, if this catches on in the Junior leagues in Canada, its going to basically kill tough hockey.

Quebec announces new hockey violence rules

Young hockey players in Quebec may think twice about using their hockey gloves as boxing gloves in the wake of strict penalties announced Wednesday to curb on-ice violence.

Hockey Quebec is targeting unsportsmanlike behaviour such as fighting, checking the back of the head and verbal abuse in the minor leagues.

Among the new rules:

* Players who fight, instigate, or jump into an on-ice brawl as a third combatant will be suspended for two games on a first offence.
* A second offence puts the player out for four games and means a trip before a disciplinary committee.
* A third offence means an indefinite suspension.
* If the fight happens in the last five minutes of play or overtime, the players involved will be penalized an additional game and their coaches will also be suspended for one game.
