Saying F your wife and kids is a bit much, but athletes careers are different than other careers. Their careers last 5-20 years (with most closer to 5). They make huge amounts of money, and then they are done. It's a pretty short amount of time to maximize career earnings and maybe accomplish a personal goal, like a championship or playing for your favorite team.
Part of the job is moving around a lot. People in the USA, moreso than Canada, move around a lot for jobs anyways. Moving around between hockey cities is a lot more preferable than being forced to take a middle management job in "Scranton", Ohio, which is how things work for most people in the real world.
