quotations about hockey
Hockey is the ultimate team game. I have worked with teams in the NHL, NFL, NBA, and major-league baseball. In my opinion, players on a good hockey team are closer and more interdependent during the game than players in any of the other major sports. Part of the reason is the nature of the game. Hockey is an intense contact sport that bonds players together. Hockey is also a high-speed, lateral-flow game. Hockey success comes from everyone working together and moving the puck from player to player. Puck movement generates scoring opportunities.

attributed, Biteback Dictionary of Humorous Sporting Quotations
At some point the sticks came into play, which is to say that when players got irked, annoyed, angry, or blinded by vengeance, they might as well choose to use them for weapons. This was frowned upon at the time, though maybe not as much as now.
