Abstract Previous research has identified sports-related risk factors that can cause acts of violence outside the sporting milieu. The purpose of this case study is to examine the ideals, language and social status of male ice hockey players and determine whether and how they affect their views of sexuality, aggressiveness and actions outside the ice hockey milieu. The method and material are based on a qualitative content analysis of interviews with six senior ice hockey players in Sweden. Research on masculinity and violence theoretically inspires the study. The findings show that expectations and norms can create increased status in a team and at the same time can also make it difficult for players to fully follow their own values and inner guides. In other words, players can be themselves, yet sometimes have to toe the line and follow the group (even if they do not always want to). Another finding is the dilemma of silence and the difficulties that players face in setting limits for team-mates who, for example, joke in a diminishing and inappropriate way. The article ends with a discussion about the challenges that these results entail regarding progressive (violence-preventative) work within ice hockey at the individual and structural levels.

“在更衣室里更自由、更轻松，因为障碍消失了……”瑞典冰球运动员的男子气概理想、语言和社会地位的案例研究

摘要 先前的研究已经确定了可能导致体育环境之外的暴力行为的与体育相关的风险因素。本案例研究的目的是检查男性冰球运动员的理想、语言和社会地位，并确定他们是否以及如何影响他们对冰球环境之外的性、攻击性和行为的看法。该方法和材料基于对瑞典六名高级冰球运动员访谈的定性内容分析。对男性气质和暴力的研究在理论上启发了这项研究。研究结果表明，期望和规范可以在团队中创造更高的地位，同时也会使球员难以完全遵循自己的价值观和内在指导。换句话说，玩家可以做自己，但有时必须遵守规则并跟随团队（即使他们并不总是想要）。另一个发现是沉默的困境以及球员在为队友设定限制时面临的困难，例如，以减少和不恰当的方式开玩笑。文章最后讨论了这些结果对个人和结构层面的冰球渐进式（暴力预防）工作带来的挑战。
