Hockey players are amazing. I didn’t appreciate it until I saw it in person. Ice skating on its own requires a tremendous amount of dexterity, endurance, and grace. Your body is working hard just to not finish falling to the ground all the time, and then someone hands you a stick and says, “Go backward and hit that round hard rubber thing . . . oh, never mind. It’s gone now. Sorry you just got punched, BTW.”
