Hockey and Bones
There’s no question that hockey players are among the world’s toughest athletes.
If anyone needed any reminding of this, a great example was provided by Gregory Campbell of the Boston Bruins in last year’s Stanley Cup play-offs. While killing a penalty, Campbell dove to block a slap shot from two time NHL scoring champion Evgeni Malkin. The impact of the speeding puck broke his leg instantly. Campbell got back up and finished the shift.
Can one imagine a soccer player reacting in such a manner? Or how would a badminton player respond to breaking a bone in mid-play?

Why Hitting Should Be Banned in Hockey
I think open ice bodychecking should be banned from all hockey from novice to the NHL. I just can’t find justification to keep hitting or body checking in hockey. Physicality adds a unique and appealing dimension to the sport however it doesn’t provide enough positives to outweigh the negatives, specifically concussions, injuries to human brains. Banning the body check makes sense for the health of the players as much as the sport of hockey.
