the NHL is marketing themselves as "family entertainment" and I'm sure they don't appreciate this kind of thing. It is kind of like when the sports team suspends a guy who gets in trouble with the law. It has nothing to do with the team, but he is one of the public faces of that team and they don't like the reputation he is giving them by getting arrested.
