"For me it's mostly eye contact. When you get hit or hit someone, if that eye contact is still there longer than it needs to be, that’s pretty much all you need. You drop the gloves and that’s part of the game."
Islanders enforcer prospect Micheal Haley in his Q&A at the official site.
Later, on the life of a fighter: "If you like to fight, you’re going to have sore hands or a sore eyeball. I think it's worth it."
