Any hit or play that injures a player now means jail time?

If this idiocy was in effect in the NHL about 45 players would be behind bars in the last month.

Literally a "how to kill Hockey in one fell swoop".
They decided to make an arrest after an investigation into the circumstances of this particular incident.

Dozens of professional sportspeople get injured every week, and no one goes to jail. Hundreds of hits, tackles, and head-high bouncers (cricket), that don't lead to prosecutions. There is no slippery slope.

If the police/prosecutors determine that there are legal grounds for a charge of manslaughter, should they let it slide for the sake of ice hockey?
