This is because of the dramatically higher number of incidents of repetitive brain trauma that occur in hockey fights.
Why is this so hard to grasp?

How can that deduction be made though? The same people that are getting punched in the head are the same people that play a physical game and are dishing out and receiving multiple body checks a night.
