That’s not self control. That’s just not being a complete asshole in every single way. As someone who worked in a huge hockey city in arenas I can tell you hockey is a blight on this country that will eventually enable us to be become just like 'murica. We’ve already adopted the sport celebrity culture fully and people will literally fight you over hockey.
I’ve had people punch me and spit on me, I’ve had to call the cops numerous times over threats of physical violence against me or someone else, had my life and vehicle threatened with damage, I’ve had a player jump over the boards and try fight me because I asked him to leave the ice surface after his allotted time was up. I had a guy even try pull me off the ice resurfacer because he was pissed he couldn’t skate longer.
They’re fucking worse than Neanderthals and they are taught that every day, year round from the time they can strap blades on their feet and praised for it. They call it “the Canadian game”. We give them millions of dollars to.play a fucking kids game and never ever ask them to grow up. I’ve seen junior players who’s dad’s still tie their fucking skates.

I mean, you say hockey is the problem, but people will literally fight you over coffee, a parking spot, or some invisible force in the sky.
It’s not the sport that’s causing problems, it’s just humans being humans.
We like to think we’re evolved beyond such stupidity, but we aren’t even close.
Anyone pretending that “changing the culture” will magically eliminate the problem entirely is just as stupid as the people they’re complaining about.
People are always going to do bad things, and that’s why we have a legal system to deal with those situations.
Maybe they are hockey players 😜
