Its tough enough for athletes to hone their skills in football, baseball, basketball tennis etc. try playing those sports on skates.
I played football and hockey growing up. I often hear football players say that hockey is no where as tough as football. Football has some big guys no doubt by so does hockey. In football I had twice the padding and ran half as slow is can skate. I also didnt have football players cutting me with skates, shooting pucks at me, swinging sticks at me, pushing me intio nets and boards or fighting me so I dont agree with that comparison.
