It’s the same as why they teach you to “drive defensively”. It’s a dangerous activity and an incident can result in serious harm. Of course it isn’t automatically your fault if you’re in an accident, but it’s fair to assume that you should look out for your own well being. Be aware and make efforts to avoid injury to yourself, even if it isn’t your fault.
Hockey is dangerous. There will never be a time when it isn’t. Even if there is no contact, it can be dangerous. The league will look out for player safety but you really should take responsibility for yourself before anyone else does. For your own health.
