Hockey is one of the toughest sports to play. It's incredible how good of condition you have to be in just to skate around even without the hits. If you've never skated and tried to control a puck, then you can't even comment. Football is a joke compared to hockey. Why do you think guys only do 1-2 minute shifts at the most? You can't physically skate around longer than that without dropping off. Add the hits to the skating and most football guys would be puking in less than a minute. Back in the old days, football players used to play offense and defense. Now they are 1 dimensional because they all want to be heroes and it's all about 1 play whether they make the big hit or make the big touchdown catch or run!
