If a player is concerned about concussions it’s not like these guys are being forced onto the ice. With your rational we should cancel the entire X games as well as there’s no way to eliminate concussions past the helmets they already wear skateboarding and bmxing . If people don’t want to see the violence in hockey they don’t have to watch and if the players don’t want to participate in it they don’t have to play. And that’s why I think it will never be removed. The fans want to see it and the players want it in the game.
What about fans that want to watch hockey without seeing players suffer life-changing injuries because of head shots?
You are making sweeping comments about what fans want and don't want.

I get that you disagree. But the stance of "if you don't like it don't watch it" is incredibly short-sighted. I care deeply about the sport. I want to see it evolve because I care about it.
