I've played the major sports at the medium amateur level, men's inter-city basketball in Timmins/Noranda, Junior football (18 years old), and industrial league hockey. I've only kicked a soccer ball around a few times. There's no contest. Hockey players can only play for 30 to 90 seconds before needing a 5 minute rest, and they put fresh players out. It's the MOST physically taxing game there is. There's no coasting like in soccer. The speed and hitting is amazing even at the midget level, and if you want to have sports experience go see an NHL game. The sheer high speed skill and intensity is eye popping. Damn he's a good troll.
