A few weeks ago I heard about the recent business of recording and selling
videos of hockey fights (it may not be so recent, but it was new to me).
It didn't surprise me a bit that this business started in the US, but the
article  I read mentioned that a company based in Saskatchewan (I had to look
that one up) got into selling fight videos as well.

I am wondering how much other people know about this, and what people
think about these videos.

I can't really  imagine anyone sitting in front of the VCR and watching
2 hours of fights (although I don't know how long they actually are).  Several
postings on the net a while ago seemed to indicate the increasing popularity
of hockey in the US (or at least hockey related movies); I hope that's not
the side of hockey which is making it more popular.  One comment about one
of the recent hockey movies (I can't recall it's title, something about the
young and the wrestling); I say ad clips from the movie, and one thing that
stuck in my mind was a bodycheck that reminded me of the bodychecks in the
movie Slapshot.
