Peace love and hockey
By: Luke Dwornik
Many people would watch a hockey game and understand that it is a very violent game. There are fights that make this observation even easier to make. How do you know what is going through the heads of the men out on the ice?
As you may know there are some hockey players are mean on and off the ice, but what most people don't see anything but the senseless violence. Chris Pronger of the Philadelphia Fliers once explained that the reason that he is so brutal on the ice. He said the he needs to protect his teammates with fear.
What I am simply trying to say is that the smashing and crashing of the other players could really be someone standing up for his pal. Or it could just be because they are hockey players that enjoy beating the crap out of each other. You choose.
