Bourne Blog: Why NHL players shouldn't have to tolerate fan abuse
Yahoo! Sports recruited former minor-league player Justin Bourne to write about the NHL.
Rather than a "no-holds barred" tabloid style, Bourne writes fresh, thoughtful pieces with the perspective of someone who has experienced the ups and downs of life as a journeyman hockey player.
Today, Rick Rypien will have his hearing with the NHL today to determine his punishment for foolishly grabbing a fan during a game in Minnesota this week. Without excusing Rypien, Justin Bourne tries to explain the difficulty of being "professional", while being taunted by obnoxious fans during emotional and competitive games.
