Are we removing hitting for the players or are we removing hitting so that we feel better morally for watching? Do we think the players don't understand the risks involved in hockey? I suffered three concussions in my "career" while I was playing and I came back every time aware of the potential risks. I was still trying to make it somewhere at that point. It's a livelihood for these guys. There's plenty of jobs out there that have varying degrees of risk involved.
Do people think MMA should be abolished too? The fact is that hockey can be a dangerous sport. Is it not acceptable for a dangerous sport to exist?
