Because, just so you know, you would've ended up on top of the guy in blue and headbutting his head.
Or stomach.
Safety first.
I mean, shoulder =/= loads. And they only wear one helmet, silly goose!Quote:

Padding can only take away so much pain when you're being crushed by a 260 pound linebacker running at 18 mph (actual averages).
But rugby no doubt most alpha male sport.
One helmet per team? Nope. One set of pads per team? Nope again. Therefore, still stands, loads of pads and helmets.Quote:

Per person. How many per team? Say 20 including subs? 20x2 = 40. 40 helmets is a lot.Quote:

I didn't need to specify, I already explained how what I said was correct. Not my fault if you chose to interpret it wrongly.Quote:

PS handegg is a soft sport <3
Not until afterwards tho. So is not my fault u couldn't specify accordinglyQuote:

I agree that rugby is the true alpha male sport and American football is right behind it or tied with ice hockey. I haven't personally played ice hockey that much but I've played both American football and "soccer". I played as halfback and **** was real. I played in the adult team as a 17yo and I was against 20-30 something linebackers. Ouch.
Ice hocky is like true deathQuote:

Not necessarily only fighters but most teams have at least 1 big guy whose purpose is to be the physical intimidation so opponents won't go straight to goalies face. They also try to mess up opponents rhythm of the game by tackling or doing small dirty deeds like swiftly hitting with the stick to opponents calves when they pass by. Aggravating and intimidating, that's today's ice hockey's fighters.Quote:

Hockey is scary. I remember one time in middle school someone hit me with their stick and it basically broke in half. It's still a fun sport, though.
The only hockey I ever played was in the street and having to move the goal every time a car came. And also the majority of the time it ended up with everyone beating eachother with the hockey sticks.
Are you sure that the stick broked in half? 😄Quote:

Ahh, all I really know of ice hockey is what I've seen on tv. So I just wondered if goon was realistic haha

@Will - He did.... horrible in state. Finished approximately 2 minutes slower than his regional time. I don't know if running with 300+ boys intimidated or what. He said his knees were bothering him, but haven't bothered him all season, so who knows. Could be a growth spurt. He wants to run in high school next year so I am going to start his training in a few weeks to start getting him built up for the extra mileage.
