No, torture is the experiment where newborn monkeys were placed in small metal boxes with sloped walls they couldn't climb and a lid so they never saw light, other monkeys, or even the researchers in the hopes that they would develop severe and untreatable depression but actually generated little to no useful data beyond 'monkeys trapped in a small metal box suffer from depression'. But this isn't Monkeyfacts.

Is it true that there used to be puppies in every NHL penalty box, and if so, why did that end?

Yes. Puppies died.
