Lol, at 17 I was in much better shape than I am now, so I might have been physically capable. That said, I don’t think I would have. I also wasn’t a hockey prospect or in an environment where physical aggression was modeled as acceptable behaviour as a child. Athletes often get put on pedestals, with adults encouraging that kind of aggression, but that wasn’t my experience, so even if I could have, I probably wouldn’t have. You can’t break someones jaw because your feelings got hurt, most people can’t afford to deal with those consequences.
