FRANKIE'S FAVOURITE SPORTS: HOCKEY



 
Hockey is my favourite sport for a number of reasons. I love the intensity and aggression like finishing a check against the boards to take down an opponent. Even more than that, I love the agility and stick skills required to get across the ice and make a play. Puck movement has become an incredible mixture of dirty dangles, dipsy-doodles, and cycling around the perimeter of the offensive zone.

Hockey has evolved tremendously over the last several decades to a quicker-paced game. Players have to be fast, agile, aggressive, strong, and have the energy and passion for the full 60 minutes. It's also vital that they have a hard slap shot or a skillfully placed wrist shot that can beat the goalie above his glove or blocker. I love the uniqueness of every play and shot, and how the players can creatively use stick skills to manipulate the puck.
