Completely irrelevant. I've played hockey against women and there were a couple that were well above my level in both physicality and hockey skills. What's your point exactly? That as long as women play hockey at a higher level than me, I should be entertained? Garbage!

I also find watching lawn bowling, racquetball, synchronized diving, NASCAR, poker and sometimes CFL football painful to watch. That statement is NOT sexist simply because the word women is there.

Pulpit time I guess. So the fact that I find women's hockey painful to watch means I am ignorant? I just don't agree with this line of thinking.
