A tough decision

An Orthodox Jewish hockey player from Quebec has "reached a compromise" with the junior hockey team for which he played, and this will see him play on Saturdays from now on: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/montreal/story/2007/09/12/ot-rubin-070912.html.

I'm of mixed feelings on this. On one hand, if he wants to be a professional hockey player, compromises are going to be necessary. On the other, to threaten to cut him, as the team apparently did, seems more than a little extreme, especially given that he would have only missed eight games out of the 70-game season.
