A lot of Europeans play football right I'm sure they could play a whole game for the most part both consider a lot of lower body strength
The footballers don’t whine, it’s the managers that do. I’ve never heard a player complaining about playing 2 games in a week but I have heard them complain about being rested and not playing.If it's footballers, then NHL'ers don't work as hard as I thought. Footballers are pretty spoiled and generally whine when they have to play 2 matches a week during a period of time.
Then you maths needs work. If a ball was struck at slap shot speed (which they aren’t hit even close to) might have a lot of kinetic energy but the ball even fully inflated has flex and give, would also have a larger surface area making contact with its target spreading the impact.Really?
I've done this math in the past.
A soccer ball, which is multiple times heavier than a puck, travelling far faster than the hardest Chara snapshot recorded, has many times the kinetic energy.
The shots from some players have enough force to cause serious internal harm if taken on the chest or head.
Without padding!
That's a horrifically ignorant statement to make.

Football and it isn't really even close.
How do you define work?What do you think?
There are so many things to pick apart here. I will just stick to the math 10 km = 6.2 miles. That averages speed to 4.1/mile over 90 minutes. So yes, thet run a lot, but infrequently at a top speed, and also they jog a lot.Most soccer players have the fitness levels of high end runners. A lot of hockey players are in poor shape for regular people, no just athletes. Hockey is the type of game where if you are a talented stick handler and skater, you can survive a 30-40 second shift. Soccer requires you to run about 10km per game plus practices. Soccer is also a game of patience. You have to be ready to strike at any point. If you get 30 minutes in and you are gassed, you're not going to be very successful.
Soccer players are some of the most fit of any major sport.

Most of the hockey shift is a top speed movement that can not be sustained for long period of times.
Also, are you suggesting that hockey players are not practicing?
Nore can you play hockey anymore. The nature of work is very different, but physical demands are very high on both of these sports at a professional level.Soccer players aren't just jogging the whole time. They are jogging and then sprinting. Whereas hockey players are sprinting and then resting. From a cardio/fitness point of view soccer is very demanding. You just cannot play professional soccer at a high level if you are out of shape.

The ball also reabsorbs a significant portion of the kinetic energy whereas a puck doesn’t (it does a small amount)… seen by a ball in such situations travelling significantly farther away from the target after impact.
The PSI impact of an ice hockey shot is much higher also.
A blasted penalty in football is approx 70mph. Long range free kicks are more like 60mph, top speed.
Slap shots 100mph.
That said, I completely agree a football can do damage.
then NHL'ers don't work as hard as I thought.
