Hockey is the Best Sport

Out of all the sports that are out there, hockey is the best one by far! There are just some many aspects to hockey that make it stand over any other sport. Many people would think that basketball or football is the best’s sports to play and to watch but that are their opinion. I like contact sports and to me basketball just isn’t that. I think it’s dumb that you could be going down the court and if you accidently bump into the other team you get penalized for it. All the guys you see in basketball are huge so let the guys play rough, it would be more exciting. I like football a lot and it is up there in the best sports to play but it just is a little too slow pace. Hockey is the best sport for many reasons. Hockey has so many aspects that just draw you into it and the game play is so high pace. Everything is happening so fast and the whole game could change in a split second. You skating full speed the whole time and usually reaching speeds of about 20mph. If you put your head down to look at the puck for just a second you will find yourself laying flat on the ice in some pain. You always have to be aware of what’s going on out there and it is crazy what people will do for the hockey team. Not too many people would kneel down in front of a 75mph slapshot knowing they are going to get hit in the chest head or in the legs, but any hockey player would do that for their team. It also takes a ton of practice for perfection to be able to shoot the puck at the perfect speed, height, and get the right spin on the puck. Hockey is such an intense sport and the hits are just awesome! To me no other sport even comes close to matching the sport of hockey and that’s why it is the best!
