Hockey question; when a player scores - why is he immediately removed from the ice?

Asked by zensky (13418points) December 6th, 2011

That doesn’t happen in any other sport I can think of – soccer, basketball, lacrosse…

If he shoots on goal and misses – it’s the same amount of exertion as shooting and scoring – so why remove hm when he’s “hot”? It makes no sense. He should keep playing… right?
