I love hockey, but next time you hear an NHL announcer or other sports knowitall talk about the higher moral standing in the world of ice hockey compared to those of football (a league which, by the way when you consider the allegedly high amount of surrounding criminality, employs almost 2000 young men to beat the shit out of one another) and basketball (thugs! rapscallions! tattooed cornrowed ragamuffins!) remember this.
A highlight?
Conboy punched and threw Kampfer to the ice and Tropp came in and struck
Kampfer across the head with his stick.
I've always enjoyed hockey fights and all that, but I am really starting to reconsider that. The game is exciting enough as it is without people endangering one another's lives.
