Sure, I suppose.
But when I go to play a little ball hockey, I'm not suiting up head to toe in the the ice hockey equipment the Flames play with. Being a spectator/fan is a little bit of a different situation. But I guess there is some comparison. Plus, it doesn't look (by general account of those I've heard from) nearly as ridiculous to those who don't participate.
But regardless, if you're going to get in my way on a daily basis as well as be inducing fits of road rage on many residents of our community by doing your practice marathons with all your other hardcore bikey bike buddy pals, all while dressed like the silver surfer's fabulous twin brother, you're gonna hear it from me, despite what little extra comfort it provides you.
Yes I'm pretty darn ignorant on the subject. But these are one of those things where I just couldn't care not to be. Sorry.
