Hockey isn't anything close to the same ballpark as lacrosse.

Are you on crack?

Hockey is a legit major sport.

Arena's are packed across North America, it's also the most global sport beside soccer. All of Europe, Russia, Finland, Sweden, Canada, US -- all excel at hockey.

It's growing as a revenue sport in college too, a lot of campuses it's right there with basketball, or even more important


It's not that I disagree with you, just the fact that they both have a limited ceiling. Good luck getting Hockey to catch on in South America or Africa.

Hockey is a sport that is mostly played in the North and Northeast. There is 1 university south of the Mason Dixon with hockey.

The NCAA has 59 D1 teams. College wrestling has more teams than that.

I wasn't saying that Hockey and lacrosse were on the same level, just that they are both niche sports. Lacrosse is too similar to soccer(and more expensive). Never been a fan of lacrosse.

It will be years from now but football will eventually be limited to touch football once studies show major trauma to the brain.
