Ethics in Hockey

There are different tactics in hockey that can reveal as cheating. The tactic that I am going to talk about is making themselves bleed after they get high-sticked and make it a 4:00 minute penalty instead of 2:00 penalty. Hockey players get high-sticked, but most players cheat by making themselves bleed. Most of the time after a player high-sticks it is usually a 2:00 minute penalty. Occasionally after a high-stick penalty the referee sees that the player is bleeding and says it is a 4:00 minute penalty.  Many  hockey players cheat and make themselves bleed, but some players don't.

The ethic that relates to hockey is Subjective relativism which is doing the right or wrong. I believe that hockey players should do the right thing by not cheating. It is not fair to cheat because it makes the player that high-sticked the other player go seat in the penalty box and sit for 4:00 minutes. Hockey players that get high-sticked make themselves bleed to make the other player get 4:00 minutes and it will give the team more powerplay time to score a goal. Hockey players should do the right thing by not cheating, but most players cheat anyway. I don't think it is fair when players cheat and it is wrong to do that by making yourself bleed. Overall, Subjective relativism is an ethic that relates to hockey and hockey players do the wrong thing by making themselves bleed after they get high-sticked.
