The NHL will be keenly baring watch on a new fighting rule announced Wednesday by the Ontario Hockey League.

The OHL, starting this season, will target one-dimensional players who do nothing else really than fight. Any player who garners an 11th fighting major on the season will incur an automatic two-game suspension, the OHL creating a threshold system to discourage serial fighters.
