Hockey is arguably the most difficult sport in the world to play as it requires very high levels of disparate skills.

1. You must change direction quickly and constantly while standing on ice
2. You have knife blades strapped to your shoes
3. You must control a rock-hard disk moving at lightning speed on a slippery surface with a bent stick
4. You are being pushed and slammed into by other knife-shoe-wearers covered in armor traveling at very high speeds

It’s sort of like combining surgery with dodge ‘em cars. Just when you’re about to suture that aorta closed, somebody slams into you from behind and ruins the whole thing. Again.
