You kind of hit on one of my pet peeves about the hockey culture in Canada. By that I mean this notion or myth that somehow Hockey player are morally superior to athletes in other sports. Are you suggesting that the game of hockey has no one who has no rapists? I would suggest some research on the topic and looking into past stories about current NHL players who were in Juniors. And no NHL player abuses their spouses????? Do some research there as well? I seem to recall stories of a certain goalie a few years ago.... And NHL players don't do drugs? you have to be kidding right?
Do you remember the sudafed controversy ? what about John Kordic. I could on and on with all kinds of examples.
The way I see it, the myth that Hockey players are all good guys eh is thinly veiled form a racism or prejudice. If americans said something similar about Canadians, we would go ballistic.
I'll bet that the same people that say these things are the ones who say soccer is for sissy's who all dive to draw fouls and for fans who kill each other in the stands . |
