“Hockey and sports in general are important to all of us in order to maintain our bonds with other human beings and to maintain our connection with our own body throughout our lives. Humans have evolved to play, move and compete, and sport allows us to do so in a healthy way. To take that away from people is to take away our humanity and to do that is the act of the fool or the criminal. It also deprives us of our enjoyment in life, and letting fear prevail over participation in the joys of life is a problem. “
