This goalie picture is getting in the way of many words... anywho, like most Canadians I am familiar with the game, and have played it both on ice and on concrete. Grass is a bit difficult! Like any skating sport, it is impressive, but also because they must do it wearing a lot of padding, and often check and fight each other, somewhat like football. The position I think is best is goalie, as it trains whole body coordination and speed (and strength, as they wear the most equipment) which might be more transferable to real life. That might be countered by them skating less, but I am sure they condition just as much. Tyciol 13:25, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
