Women in the NHL

So i have recently read some things on women playing hockey, playing in the NHL to be exact and i have some things i feel i must say. First off, i have played hockey in men's league for nine years, now I'm not saying I'm going to be in the NHL anytime soon, i don't have the lungs or knees that are needed to play in the NHL, but some people have said that girls can't take hits from really tall heavyset men. Of course i have yet to go against Chris Pronger and such but i have been up against some pretty huge men and i feel like its wrong not only to speculate that no woman can go against big men, but that women aren't made to go against the. I am one of those girls who is like 'i can do anything you can do better.' there is some girl out there somewhere who can totally rock at least a couple guys in the NHL so don't stereotype women.

Also people say that women aren't built for it and i beg to differ because as so many people point out so often every body is different which is completely true. And i realize women are made to be more petite then men, but still there are some very broad big women.

Next some have said it will change the way the game is played, mainly the physical aspect of the game. What everyone needs to realize the a. when your out on the ice its mostly just team v. team hence there are no boys or girls just opposing teams. Also if guys can't handle hitting anyone on the ice, that should be their own personal problem that they need to deal with. As well, guys have a tendency to hit girls even harder when they are on the ice with them, trust me i know from experience.

So those are my thoughts, comments?
