From Urinating Tree: “Hockey Has A Culture Problem”

Jesus fucking Christ… that Blackhawks sexual abuse thing is shocking. Well, maybe not. I mean, there have been stories about such abuse at the juniors level, but in the NHL? My God. The shit with the injuries, I guess, isn’t as surprising. These guys get hit hard, as hard...
