Glad to see the trivia question is back.
New OHL rule: One of the new additions announced by Commissioner David Branch, is a more severe penalty for frequent fighting.
Players will be allowed a 10-fight limit and will receive a two game suspension for every fight after 10.
However, if the player is instigated into a fight, it wouldn’t count against the limit.
Each fight over 16 games means a $1,000 fine to the team.

Good work Kris! Sounds like a complicated rule to me. I like the old saying, "I went to see a fight and a hockey game broke out!"

Correct - basically any answer saying that the league is punishing serial fighters would have sufficed. :)
