That's ridiculous...it completely ruins the glory of the "hockey fight". One of the things I love about hockey is the fact that two guys can go at it for awhile, no one else gets involved and then they get their short time in the box and that's that. It's the only sport that, despite having refs, gets "self-governed" in that sense. Having a bench-clearing brawl makes a mockery of the unspoken system the sport once had.
