1. I learned to skate because of hockey. I wanted to ball through the age of 5 then my parents moved to the burbs where i took up street hockey with kids at this daycare. I was rollerskating at age 6. In order to afford hockey i never started ice skating for a few years till i was 7.
2. In high school i was a role player in Division 1 high school hockey. My team was always top 15 ranked in the entire state my last 2 years. I played against 1 nhl prospect that got drafted. most americans who get drafted don't play high school hockey they go to prep schools leagues like some basketball players instead. After high school i help start a club hockey team my junior year at my college which was very competitive.
3. I played left wing all the way through sophomore year of high school. Due to a lack of top notch defensemen i moved to defense. In college i played a little bit of both.
4. Kids tried to test me when i scored allot. In middle school aged youth hockey i started catching up to the competition and was scoring allot. When we had a team out of reach a team would test not just me but any star player. But the thing was despite being 5-8 i used to ? people up taller and bigger than me cause i had good hitting techniques. Maybe one or 2 times in my career people made a joke like "wrong sport" or something ignorant like that. I never fought back then and there but next shift i would ? em up (which mentally messed them up).
5. Concussions ? up Eric Lindross and if he ain't have them i think he could have possibly won a cup. The thing about hockey is you are being hit at football levels (and worse) 3 or 4 times a week instead of once a week. Toward the middle and end of his career he had injury trouble that affected his play. But Lindross was a true flyer a dude who could hit and fight hard but also had the talent. That was the best thing about the flyers back in the day is they beat your ass on the scoreboard and in the penalty box. With the new nhl its change a bit but still flyers hockey
6. No missing teeth i can thank modern face masks and mouth guards for that. I did get the wind knocked out of me by slap shots and hard hits never suffered any severe bone breaks just the normal wear and tear of slashes. No concussions either. -
Props for answering all my questions. It takes talent to make it to the college level. You have my e-respect.
These dudes made me alot of money.
Something about flyers and star players with injuries. SMH
Lindros was one of the goats on face offs.

Still fresh out of fuxx to give about hockey.
The one thing I liked about hockey was removed because hockey stans practically protested it...
lol.
And now that there are more brothas in the league, watch the "rules" surrounding fighting slowly but surely change from penalty boxes and power plays to year long suspensions and the term "goon" going from sensationalized to demonized.
