Well, part of it is that hockey people are in general way nicer than other major sports. I’m speaking “on the average”, thus generalizing, but by that I’m not referring to any individuals specifically.Some people in this world just don't have any social graces. With professional athletes, that number is a lot higher than the norm. Because they have this one specific talent, they're coddled through adolescence and in a lot of ways removed from the real world, even in college.
When you are ushered through life, you come to expect that everyone else is an usher.
Therefore, a Brian Campbell type comes along in the hockey world and he stands out like someone from a different sport.
