Because it's not the same level of play/traveling/skill levels. Same reason people look for NHL experience vs overall hockey experience.

It’s about resting your body. Most personal trainers would advise you not to workout as much as a professional athlete does. Add in 3 games in 4 nights and playing through injuries takes a toll on you. Nhl players have less rest and more pressure to play through injuries. Mileage does matter
