Darren Kramer on Racking Up Fights

In this age where every second person seems to be bashing fighting in hockey, Darren Kramer’s stats stick out like a sore fist.

According to hockeyfights.com, the Spokane Chiefs left-winger had 46 fighting majors in 68 WHL regular season games last year. That’s more bouts combined than the league’s next two busiest pugilists, Seattle Thunderbirds centre Jacob Doty (24) and Kamloops Blazers left-winger Ryan Hanes (21), and it’s one fewer than George Parros, the Anaheim Ducks right-winger who topped the NHL with 27 toe-to-toe tilts in 2010-11 had the past two campaigns.
