A headline from a Kingston Ontario newspaper the "Daily British Whig" on January 17,1918 ..

"Warned against Fighting" , President Calder Tries to "Eliminate Pugilism" From Hockey :

Thats Frank Calder Who the Calder Trophy is called after , The were even trying Ninety years ago to eliminate fighting , but it's still part of the game !!!!
