They simply enjoy their work day in and day out.

I doubt it, my guess is most of them find the transition from enjoying the game of hockey for its own sake to training and playing it for a living an utter pain in the arse, the job of a hockey player is mostly spent on planes or hotels or in the gym keeping in shape or doing drills, missing most important events, birthdays etc, not spending a whole hell of a lot of time with your loved ones from about the age of 15, for all of that they get to actually play hockey about 30 minutes to an hour a week, most beer league players get to play more than that.
