Editor: The majority of fans may be greatly disappointed if the NHL and its players can’t come to a satisfactory agreement regarding salaries paid, and the upcoming season is cancelled.
Not being an ardent hockey fan, I won’t be greatly affected. As I watch hockey, I am aware of the vast discrepancies in refereeing as compared to other sports that I prefer, football and soccer, for instance.
In these sports, dirty play and brutality are reason for instant discipline, and often dismissal from further play.
I believe that a better game could be had if hockey adopted the same regulations.
