It's not at all what a pro athlete has to deal with. Non-compete clauses must be limited within a reasonable geographical area and within a reasonable amount of time. To say that an NHL player can't play for any of the top 30 businesses in the hockey industry in the world for 1-7 years would absolutely not be considered to be reasonable in any other industry.
