"There's hard ice to fall on" was only one of the reasons I gave for wearing equipment. You forgot to include skating at speeds of up to 30 km/h, weighing anywhere from 160-270 lbs. full contact sport, boards and glass to get crushed against, carry sticks, puck can travel over 160 km/h.doesnt mean shit. you see the equipment they wear? a player carries a hockey bag that can fit like 5 people in it. they can fall on hard diamond for all i care
I take it you've never played ice hockey. lol
