thats because hockey is one of the toughest sports in the world. and skiing is one of the more soft (but very fun) sports. hockey players are as tough as nails
If you get hurt on the ice, if its something that can be fixed by stitches or in the locker room. They are usually out for the next shift. In alot of other sports such as basketball or soccer or skiing) (no hate to any at all, just different sports), if this happened, i guarantee the player would be out for weeks. You dont see this everyday in alot of sports.
