The fan attending the hockey game or showing up at their job probably ignores the tickle in their throat too. I don’t trust players any less than everyone else who are never tested.

Seems like 2 very different problems.
Could the NHL and other pro sports help their local markets by testing fans? Perhaps, but the benefits might be very marginal. Rapid tests aren't completely reliable, and could lead to some false sense of security. It's a nice tool to have, but like masks and vaccinations, imperfect.
I'd hope anyone whose job involves breathing heavily on 20 other guys (without any easy way to mitigate) every other night would be tested as rigorously
