To be an NHL player they have to be a member of the NHLPA.
The NHLPA has agreed to conditions through a standard collective bargaining process. So he can choose to be a player in the NHL, which means he must be a member of the PA and adhere to those. Or he can choose to ply his trade elsewhere.
None of that is forced labor.
I may have interest in a job in Edmonton. I can't accuse the company of "forcing me to work in Edmonton" because I want the job but don't want to be in Edmonton. I can either accept that i must live in Edmonton to have that job, or I can choose to seek other employment.
