“Celebrate The Game!” is displayed prominently across the webpage for ScotiaBank Hockey Day In Canada. This is a major promotion for the CBC and the NHL and it was appropriate that the final game of the night showed the type of play that the league has ignored, tolerated and supported. Vancouver and Calgary waited an entire 2 seconds after the opening face-off to give us “Slapshot 2014”.
The time has come for the NHL and NHLPA to show maturity, to display concern for their players and to promote the beauty of hockey instead of supporting a culture of fighting. From this humble site I hope to rally others with a similar opinion and communicate this message to hockey officals at all levels of the game.
