This is the opposite. 94speed 170cm 72kg builds can easily run over 185cm 88kg player with truculence. They dont like it.
I agree that hitting is a part of hockey but when there is 50 hits in a game and 0 penalties, then there is some kind of problem in the game and if we can, then we need do something to this problem.
EDIT: of course after the ban there will be hits in the game too but they will not be as effective and therefore will not affect the game in the same way like now.
