I've played coed since I started playing hockey four years ago. I learned to play at an early morning practice with a bunch of guys who were a billion times better than I was, and taught me everything I do right about the sport now, including how to be aggressive and how to be sportsmanlike -- two of the most important things I've carried with me since.
Someone told a girl who wants to learn hockey in her question below that she shouldn't compete with men in hockey. That she should stick to girls' leagues and playing with other women. This would also mean she's not allowed at stick time and pickup games. Right?
What do you all think? I've played coed until just recently, and never felt like I was at a disadvantage. I'm not big, but i'll grind and dig in and push and shove if I have to. I've been in the box for a fight or two.
Right? Wrong?
It never even occurred to me I shouldn't be on the ice with men, even when I'm the only girl there.
Your opinions?
