From Ian Winwood at The Guardian,
I have just one question: what kind of lunatic would play a game that sees this thing [a hockey puck] flying about the place at a hundred miles an hour?
The point of this week’s column is to wonder ... actually, to marvel at the toughness of the hockey player. It is, of course, a given that those on skates, especially those skating six weeks into the post-season, are among the toughest athletes in the world. This truism, though, wasn’t quite good enough for me, so in the interests of authenticity, not to mention hard science, I conducted an experiment. These are my findings.
