toughest athletes from any sport by farrrrrr

[TheTime101]

yes toughest and they persevere

[bieberxoxo22]

Hockey is the toughest sport there is. One of the many reasons why it is the best(:

[1234dethjam]

Toughest sport in the world that's why I love to play it.

most of my friends think that basketball players than hockey players

Love Ovechkin

@PWNageSIMSON I guess I agree to an extent that the cage restricts vision...what about those full, clear face masks though? IDK, I guess hockey players are pretty tough, but it still must really suck to take a skate/puck/stick to the face...ow lol

[PWNageSIMSON]

@pace18t i agree ive been playing hockey my entire life, but u know rugby man...that sport is brutal, very often someone gets a laceration on their face that needs mabe 10 to 50 stictches along their face of body, the play dosent even stop, the meds come onto the feild to mend the player WHILE the game is still in play,

[PWNageSIMSON]

@nikkatnight umm its because trutfully when ure at that high level EVERYTHING moves at a far higher pace than any game on the world. so the cage actually restrics vision, i know if may sound crazy to someone whose worn a cage for their entire life. Im in major midjet now and i see a IMMENSE difference.

@BraydonJakob I am a girl and I do wear a cage in a rec hockey league. It just seems odd to me somewhat that most NHLers protect their entire body but leave their face uncovered. Is it a "tough guy" image thing?

[BraydonJakob]

@CrossCheckCharlton and where are you playing hockey now? oh yeah thats right... talk to me when your the best player on the planet kid....
