Primarily celebrated in regions that are known for their cold weather (Canada, the United States, Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Scandinavia, for instance) hockey is a sport which can take a lot out of a player, physically. The game consists of 22 players that are rotated in at 6 players at a time. Three twenty minute periods comprise the game, and a twenty minute overtime period as well, until there is a goal scored. Tied games stopped being allowed under NHL rules, so this is a way to end a game if it is tied at the last period.
Hockey has modified itself over the time since its conception with the establishment of strict regulations - nothing like it was back in Europe where the referee was in the audience instead of on the field. These days there are actually two referees, and each of them make their home on the ice next to the players, coffering with each other and with the league officials watching on the sidelines is not unheard of. The league behavior is also different because of the regulations, and the increased organization led to the addition of a penalty box. In severe cases, this time out can last all game.
A change of behavior has caused an entirely different type of league with stricter regulations and that has caused a penalty box to be added to the game. This means that a player who breaks a league-mandated rule will have to sit out the rest of the period or the game, depending upon what the referee decides.
If players are 'called out' too many times it can result in penalty shots, which can give points to the rival team. The game has really taken a turn in the years with players becoming really aggressive to the point that they're actually fighting on the ice which says a lot about how the first real hockey players played - they had up to 30 people per team which is less than the number on today's NHL teams.
As a consequence of the brawls on the ice, hockey players face injuries, bruises, and cuts. Fights have been known to begin over certain calls made by the referees that the players think are unfair, or because a team member from the opposite team is taunting them.
As a consequence of the brawls on the ice, hockey players face injuries, bruises, and cuts. Something as simple as an unfair taunt from a rival player, or a call that a player didn't agree with, could spark the fight. In order to tone down the intensity of a fight, players are sent to the locker rooms to cool off. Temperaments are naturally prone to anger in hockey, to accompany the high energy the sport requires. While it might be natural for players to not get angry, fights with the referee aren't really things that should be tolerated.
