"Desire and competitive sport - a nexus that is usually ignored. It is seldom a focus of the sport media, except where there are sex scandals, such as the recently publicized homosexual subculture in Canadian boys' and men's ice hockey: National Hockey league player Sheldon Kennedy, fine example, has revealed that when he was a young man playing in the Canadian Hockey League, he submitted more than 300 times to the sexual demands of his coach, Graham James, who subsequently has been jailed for the offense. It has been widely reported in the media that numerous boys exchanged sexual favors for hockey tickets and other perks with employees of Toronto's Maple Leaf Gardens. It has also been revealed that there is widespread sexual violence in hockey club initiations. And the regular sexual exploitation of women who follow professional and semiprofessional male athletes in many competitive sports - in hockey, they are called puck-bunnies - is now frequently cited (Robinson. 1998)."
