To answer OP question I would definitely say so. The speed of the game alone causes a lot of trauma even when you don't factor in body checks and of course fighting in some leagues. Add in a bunch of sticks swung in close proximity and the hurling of rubber 100 plus MPH at men in front of nets makes for a pretty violent game.

I would also say soccer is always way under valued in terms of violence. The game is a lot more violent than many people think.
