Hockey is a rich white guys sport, these guys don’t grow up with the same circumstances/in the same neighborhoods as many ball players. Much easier to stay out of trouble when you aren’t living in an environment that breeds it...
This is absolutely true. But I think it's also worth noting that also rich guys (of any race, culture, etc.) can face adversity in other forms. Obviously wealth can insulate you from many things - but I'm sure there's a number of NHL players who have faced adversity in the form of abusive parents, mental health issues, substance abuse, or sexual assault.
