Hockey a great game and has become so fast and physical

I disagree with the suggestion that women could compete in hockey at the top level. Maybe at regional/club level but not the very top.

The difference in speed, pace and power at the hockey I attended at the Olympic park last summer was stark. Just like in the football.

That’s nobodies fault nor is it saying the women are rubbish, it’s just strength and pace.
