Description
The Human Cost of Fighting in Hockey Every night in hockey arenas across Canada and the United States, modern-day gladiators drop their gloves and exchange bare-fisted blows to the roars of the paying public. Tens of millions of people watch and cheer on these fighters, who are valued for their skills but often struggle with the consequences of their actions. This book explores the lives of three former hockey fighters who, years after their playing days ended, continue to grapple with the physical and emotional toll of their sport. They may be living with a degenerative brain disease, struggling with mental health issues, addiction, and brushes with the law. The debate surrounding fighting in hockey is hotly contested, but what happens when the game leaves its players with injuries and trauma? Major Misconduct scrutinizes this highly dangerous and controversial cultural practice, shedding light on the human cost we're willing to tolerate in the name of hockey fighting.
