Of course they could fight at the Olympics if they wanted to, you could kick another player if you wanted to as well - but guess what? It's against the rules. Why doesn't fighting happen? It's against the rules. Coaches picking skilled players has nothing to do with it, it's against IIHF rules to fight in Olympic tournaments, or any IIHF tournament for that matter. Read the IIHF rules of fighting. The one on fighting is rule 528 – Fisticuffs or Roughing.
