Not every player is like that though. There are lots of players, even just in the ones I know personally, that much prefer the smaller markets. Not even just because there's less pressure like the media likes to say, but because they prefer that lifestyle. They all travel so much anyway it really matters less to players then people make it seem
Kind of like how I can't wait to move out of Calgary to a smaller town, not everyone wants to live in cities, hockey players are no different. It's likely a minority, though, sure
