Fighting: Fighting can be a minor (roughing) penalty or a major penalty and a game misconduct. This is at the discretion of the referee. A player who starts the fight will be assessed an instigating minor penalty, a major for fighting and a ten minute misconduct. Any player who is assessed a major and a game misconduct for being an instigator/aggressor of an altercation will have this recorded for statistical and suspension purposes. If gloves come off, there will be penalties forthcoming.
