Human Being First, Then A Hockey Player

from Kevin Weekes of CBC,
As a league we’ve evolved from the days where breaking an opponent’s leg with a slash to beat their team was the norm. But in today’s game, we still face the challenge of blind-side hits. The mentality of that type of hockey is simply antiquated. It’s time for clear definition of those types of plays and severe consequences in the result of 10-15 game suspensions and HEAVY fines….
I’m always a player first, and players are the product, but now players need the GMs to protect them from themselves.
At the end of the day, you’re a human being longer than you’ll ever be a player. And your ability to be just that must be protected.
