from Julian McKenzie of The Athletic,

Milan Lucic has thrown a lot of right hooks throughout his hockey life. That’s to be expected when you’re a fighter, even in the modern-day game where the enforcer role is all but extinct.

Throughout his 16-year NHL career, Lucic has played in many tense games and sown himself into bitter rivalries. And he has taken part in many fights — 88, to be exact. Colorado Avalanche defenseman Kurtis MacDermid just happens to be the fighter he’s fought against the most, four times. Their latest encounter occurred late last month, when Lucic used that right hook to drop MacDermid to the ice, prompting “oohs” and even a “holy s–t” from the fans at Ball Arena.

It’s a fight that will live forever on the internet. It has its place on Hockey Fights, a website devoted to chronicling fights and fighting statistics. Users can even vote to determine who won a particular fight — Lucic has 97.5 percent of the vote on his latest fight against MacDermid, if you were wondering.

In fact, Lucic is among Hockey Fights’ legion of visitors. He’s watched most of, if not every single one of, his fights....

David Singer, a New York native and television executive, is the reason Hockey Fights has been able to log so many stats and recollections from the days when fighting was more in vogue. He got his start as a blogger in the 1990s, compiling fight stats on his own before other internet users started to chip in and help out. Singer bought the domain name hockeyfights.com in 1999, and the site grew from there.

“It was curiosity,” Singer said when asked why he created the site.
