I guess ultimately it's the player's choice if he can/wants to play. It's overall part of hockey culture isn't it? Play through your injuries, tough it out!

Thing is it probably shouldn't be the players choice.
Playing through a fractured sternum, and 4 cracked ribs shouldn't be allowed even if the player really wants to play.
This is why guys end up having issues with pain medication addiction, etc
