Settle down a bit with the female parts and with crack references, people.

fine.

Let's be serious for a second here.


What we all really want/need is a Women Lingerie Hockey League.

wonder if EE's buddies make kevlar panties.

Studies like that are published all the time. Doesn't carry much weight, no pun intended.
- A_Tree

Absolutely. I'm going to set out to prove it can be done by inviting hot fit women to train and attempt a pull up .....in my basement ....with the camera rolling.

The Canadian Women's team played in a midget league before the Vancouver Olympics to prepare.

Seriously?

Was it rep? 15 year olds?

Maybe I am wrong then.

Frankly, it seems a little bit like the "they should just let the players take steroids" debate.

It's not going to happen because, in addition to physical differences, the lawyers would eventually step in. Would there be a requirement that every team should have X amount of female players?

And, much like the steroid debate, what happens when a woman gets creamed and they have to take her off the ice on a stretcher? If that wouldn't pull all the Lionel Hutz types out of the woodwork, I don't know what would.

No sane Lawyer would take that dead end.

IMO if the women is honest-to-god talented enough to be in the NHL, why not. That doesn't mean all of a sudden the league gets watered down with female athletes, as by our discussion, it would take a very very talented women to make the AHL... let alone the NHL.

I still think it could, hypothetically, happen.

Poor boys were probably only thinking about the showers after the game.

SO UNFAIR!

Well, they killed lingerie football


But they've replaced it with Lingerie Basketball.



I'm gonna be honest. I don't want to see the after effect blocking a slapshot with nothing but a bit of lingerie acting as padding.
- Feeling Glucky?

I never understood the whole lingerie football thingy.

Don't get me wrong, I like women in lingerie.

But why would I want to watch them play the worst level of football on the planet?

Hey, if Erik Karlsson can play in the NHL...




BOOM!!!!

No offence, but have you been smoking crack?
- Atomic Wedgie

Really? You don't think that there would be some sort of movement to mandate participation?

What if some team just never invited any women to its training camps? Wouldn't that be discriminatory?

Aren't pull-ups different from chin-ups?

Overhand grip vs. underhand?
- Atomic Wedgie

Is that done without a beer? if so you're asking the wrong guy.

I need to chase a ball or skate after a puck or else its just boring awful awful work.

No.

You have not watched the various local rep hockey teams. Boys who make rep these days are bigger, stronger and faster than fully grown women.
- Aetherial

An average women? yes.

Seasoned hockey players. Sorry, no.

Hypothetically, if Serena Williams parents were 'cakers from small town Canada and had thrown her and Venus into hockey .....hmmmm. I'd curl up and cry if she was skating hard at me ...she's a beast.

I actually think this has been attempted.

EDIT: Wedgie seems to remember it better than me.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Just reading the impeccable source: Wikipedia.

They played in the AAA Alberta League, and actually played two games during the Olympics.

And here's the best part: during the regular season, Hayley Wickenheiser put Dion Phaneuf's brother in a headlock!

I'd do more googling, but I'm Audi 5000.

I'm not so sure. If the NHL came out and officially declared the league was open to women as well as men, and some GM publicly said, "We refuse to have any women on our roster because we don't believe they should be playing in the NHL," there wouldn't be any legal backlash?

Many discrimination lawsuits have been filed for less.
