I'm not that shocked. It's not just becoming an issue in hockey but everywhere. I know companies have had to let people go because they game during work hours or they spend all night gaming that it affects their work. Easy to walk away from a $15/hr operator on the floor when there are 10 others that can replace him. Much harder to walk away from a guy with unique skill set that either can't be replaced or is very hard to replace.

I think banning altogether is perhaps not the way to go, but I suspect you'll see other teams having very strict rules when it comes to gaming.
