Abstract
It is commonly believed by hockey fans that European hockey players rely more on skill while North American players are more violent. The number of penalty minutes garnered by European and North American players in the National Hockey League's 1995–1996 season was examined. When corrected for the low proportion of European players, North American players had significantly more penalty minutes than European players.Keywords
