And as you mention, they are moving this speed AND controlling the puck
Throw a stick in Usain Bolt’s hands and he would lose a lot of speed, even without a ball or puck
No other sport comes close to the pace of play

Not to mention 5 200+ pound players trying to stop you at the same speed while surrounded by an immovable barrier.
Did we mention a 100 mph small black object whipping around?
And no coasting unless you play for oilers. Sometimes the captain yells unfathomable things at you like “dig in”.
Good video. I chuckled at “I’m getting it now”.
