Anyone have a logical reason as to why hockey is the only major sport that doesn't release any specific information about injuries? What negative could come from being more specific? Is there a rule that prevents them from doing it?
Please keep in mind, I do realize it's "none of our business". That applies to all sports, yet the others release more info.
Are hockey players "dirtier" than other sports' players, in the sense they would try to injure a recently-returned player? I can't imagine they are at much more risk than say, a football player in the same situation. They should be 95% healed or so before returning anyway, so that shouldn't really apply. There are some seriously dirty players in football as well, so I wouldn't think that would be the reason.
I'm not exactly new to hockey, but it's just something I've never understood, and it's frustrating at times, from a fan perspective.
