It would definitely be annoying if politics were brought up all the time in the locker room/on the plane. This isn't your average job where you can have your own office space, or against policy to talk about politics (unless there is a rule that I don't know about in the NHL rule book). Top that off with sharing a locker room with them where pretty much anything goes conversation wise.
Torts was probably just the icing on the cake.
