Answer 6

Because most people see and hear stories of hockey players say just stitch me up and get me back out there. They also have seen a player get hit in the face with a puck have a broken nose and be bleeding and then come back out of the locker room with cotton stuffed in his nose and tape bandages to hold his face together just to finish the game. Players have even played on broken toes and ankles. Hockey players put the game first. It show toughness and endurance
