It is dark that the Stars moved to Dallas, but I enjoy their fans (that one anyway).
To answer the question, I would say that cocaine and alcohol use among players along with traumatic brain injuries
Mitcheeeey
Injury, and addiction/abuse of alcohol or gambling. Always feel bad for players who lose theirselves to those things

The media blackouts are dark as shit. So dark that I can’t even see the games.

Kudos to you. I assume you picked this picture because the young lady, who seems really nice and sweet, is holding a beer. Yes: substance abuse is a dark side of the NHL.

CTE, rape culture, racism to name a few

The league covering up a rape by hiding the rapist at a school where the rapist raped a kid. Now Gary “I support rape” Bettman and the NHL want to reinstate the animals responsible for two rapes, one was the rape of a child.

The picture you posted is what I consider to be a “bright side” of the NHL

My guess would be the concussions and multitude of sexual assault scandals.

Insane amount of painkiller usage. CTE.

Babcock’s return

Harold Ballard has several controversies behind him. A few being: sex scandals, drink price fixing and the worst being his supposed trafficking ring at Maple Leaf Gardens

The stuckless situation at maple leaf gardens….google it.
Not specifically the NHL, but the inherent frat boy culture in most levels of hockey. Logan Mailloux is a good example of the problem and it’s impacts, but it also looks like he’s realized the impact of his actions, and is hoping to be part of the solution now, which is admirable

How there’s no NHL pass in Canada anymore and if you don’t pay for cable and buy the Sportsnet streaming app for $20 a month all the games are streamed in like 720p

Her underboob. Should be pretty dark under there.

Also the blackouts. They make no sense. I live seven hours away from my team’s arena. You blacking out a game so I have to pirate it, is NOT going to make me travel to more games.

The NHL is practically two face at this point there is so much dark stuff happening. Only about 1/3 of the league hasn’t had a scandal of some kind so far.
NHL teams have covered up rape, doping, staff betting against their own teams, coaches apparently hurting their own players, etc.
That’s not even mentioning how long the league spent punishing players and teams alike for attempting to make a union, rallying for higher wages, attempting to build the game outside of North America, etc.
Just like every other league the NHL is just one massive boys club where friends get in, players are just product, and fans are just consumers.

CTE and rampant Toradol use which causes many issues including serious intestinal damage, not to mention additional damage occurring to already-injured bodies.
Hockey culture in general and hazing, particularly in junior leagues. Everyone knows about it and it’s an open secret in hockey circles. Every hockey parent should read [Justin Davis’s new book](https://www.amazon.com/Conflicted-Scars-Average-Players-Journey/dp/1770416234) prior to sending their kid to play junior hockey.

Asking for a friend, is there a Reddit for the situation that’s going on in the back ground? Thank you I…. He appreciates it

The wife of the greatest player ever gambled on games that he coached in. Meanwhile, another member of said illegal gambling ring is still an active and respected member of the NHL community
ShotExcitement9914
Seriously? You need to ask? There’s been a history of sexual assault cover ups, undiagnosed concussions and other serious injuries.
Coolio_McAwesome
All the women getting raped by hockey players but it just gets pushed under the rug. Probably that one is the darkest.

So many players are toxic assholes and the way they treat puck bunnies is unforgivable. If you love your mom, sister, or daughter you have to think twice about looking up to NHL players. These guys were being scouted right when teenage boys are the horniest and the stupidest. Girls have been throwing themselves at these guys for years before they sign a contract and most of these future NHL’ers were horrible to any girl that wasn’t a solid 10. Abusive, sexual assault-type shit. The odd asshole has been ‘outed’ but there are so many who got away with it. Not to mention the guys who almost make it but don’t get drafted or signed. There are a lot of unknown, suffering, traumatized young girls out there because these pricks think they can do whatever they want to a naive young girl.

Definitely not the plexiglass. You can see those implants very well.

The blackouts are total bullshit.
The NHL app used to work well but they’ve since stopped maintaining it.
