Okay to assume that certain players in those leagues are upset that "NHL Star Players" are taking roster spots away from local players?

Now that the NHL is gone, we are stuck with extra video clips from those leagues and it seems to me over 1/2 are of dirty plays that in the NHL would result in a visit to the ShanHammer or resident NHL enforcer on opposing team. Shoot, some of them make the old Matt Cooke look like a Lady Byng candidate before he found his new game.
