Extremely few professional hockey players are already married when they turn pro. Every player's wife went into the marriage knowing what the deal was, and that her husband's job could easily require him to move to different cities and would certainly mean a lot of time on the road. I don't think it's misogynistic to expect the women involved to recognize that.
Is it misandrist to say that a player
must play for the team closest to his wife's hometown if she so chooses?
