An analogous usage from hockey much heard especially from late 2003 till
now wrt the vicious hit by Todd Bertuzzi (Vancouver Canucks) on a player
from the Colorado Avalanche is--'What happens on the ice stays on the ice.'
As it happens, this didn't. Criminal charges have been laid against
Bertuzzi.


An earlier reference (August 10, 1999) from an NHL Players Association web
page is --

”It’s a tough job,” said Oliwa. “You ask anybody in the league that does
that for a living. But you have respect for each other and what happens on
the ice stays on the ice.”
