Why Don’t Hockey Players Get Into Legal Trouble As Often As Other Athletes?

On his radio show today, Dennis Prager got a call asking why don’t hockey players get into trouble as much as other athletes.

Luke says: Well, why don’t tennis players and cricket players and rugby players get into trouble as often as other athletes? It’s the type of people who take up the sport. Solid citizens play cricket and hockey and rugby.

There’s a famous saying that rugby is a ruffian’s game played by gentlemen and soccer is a gentlemen’s game played by ruffians.
