I have at least 3 moments from my own career where a particular fight I was in made a big change in the game- two in our team's favour, one that basically lost us the game from a morale perspective.

It's an interesting topic, to be sure. My career topped out in college, so I've always played in leagues where fighting was prohibited. How many people reading this thread played hockey at a high enough level to have experience here?
Do I think that it has an effect? Yes.
How much of an effect? I'm not sure.
And since this is a game that's going to be modeled at the micro level (similar to OOTP), that's something that would have to be determined reasonably well. How this is calibrated would be very important (and probably would need to be a customizable slide bar or something).
