Here’s one reason why I like hockey. Most of the players in the NHL are the kind of guys you’d want dating your daughter, or the kind of guys you wouldn’t mind having as a next door neighbor. You don’t typically see hockey players making the news for spousal abuse or drug abuse. I’m sure there are a few bad apples out there, but for the most part, hockey has a lot of “nice guys”.

Unlike some other sports…where the players are constantly in the news for shooting off guns in clubs, or using their SUV’s to run people off the road, or going on a 2 day Coke binge. Hockey has stayed away from all of that. Must be the Canadian influence!
