The other Anon looks likes a generic anti-furry troll with some hockey interest, but what you've been saying pretty much parallels it, just replacing anti-furry with foaming anti-hockey. If it is just "a bunch of adult men skating around an ice rink with a stupid circular object," it seems pretty ridiculous to get so worked up about it. Unless you wish to argue people are justified in raging on other people's arbitrary interests and hobbies...
With this hotel thing, it seems more like a simple business decision: the city trying to optimise the benefits and incoming money. Nothing really special about hockey, as it could have been any of a zillion other interests more popular than the furry fandom (and is it even certain to be the NHL draft at this point?). At least the city tried to be nice and accommodating about it, balancing conflicting interests.
