No fucking kidding, eh. For those of you who don't know, in women's hockey you can only hit along the boards. No open ice, or full-out hits. It's bullshit, complete bullshit. For one, it makes girls do more pussy-ass cheap stick work because they can't do anything open ice. And for two, there's no logic in it after about hte age of 14. I think hitting should be banned until 14 for girls, then give them free range. Boys, 12.
Okay, so our girls hockey team this year got in a bit of a problem. One of our lead players (varsity team) gets hit from behind into the boards. Now, in men's hockey (real hockey) that is a game suspension. After this the player who hit her takes a punch at her. That makes it either a roughing call (2 minutes), an unsportsmanlike (4 minutes and a 5 minute suspension) or on the VERY outside, a fighting major (5 minute penalty). So basically, what she would have gotten in a men's game was a game and a 2 minute penalty to her team. Know what she got? She got kicked out of the league for the rest of the season and playoffs. The guys (all the guys go see the girl's games, and vice versa usually) in the stands were almost laughing the incident was so ridiculous.
