Foolish comparison. Breaking the rules of hockey is not the same thing as violating the criminal law. And there is nothing in the rules of hockey as written about penalties becoming more severe in case of injury (except for the silly double-minor if a high-sticked player can find a drop of blood on his person). The law is quite clear that it is about punishing consequential actions.
