That argument works for any activity. The thing is, it isn't really that black and white. If the league could have taken steps to make it better, if they had more knowledge than a high school educated hockey player, if he was encouraged or pressured to play despite warning signs, yeah, there's liability.
If he knew risks and took chances is he partially negligent as well? Sure, just like if I don't look for someone running a red light.
