Hockey player...the length of schedule...the speed of the game....the speed of a little frozen puck travelling at near 100 m.p.h. plus...the grind of skating on your hips and knees. The body checks...travel schedules...the sport is more grueling. Football 16 games a year. Once a week...if you are playing on the line you will get hit on every play. Your legs will wear down...over all I think hockey players are the more athletic players....catching a football is an art I admit but deflecting a puck coming at you at over 100 miles per hour is pretty impressive. Look at the goalie position...facing a frozen puck 25to 40 times a game and being able to stay alert and have the reflexes to stop a puck...(old hockey player talking)

Deangello Hall of the Falcons won the fastest man competition at the pro bowl last year. in a recent sports illustrated players poll(polls of nfl players) the same question was asked.  The two players with the most votes were Micheal Vick and Deangello Hall.\n\ngo falcons!

people perceive greatness differently.\n\nmost people would agree that Gretzky was the greatest hockey playare of all time.

Hockey. Other atheletes hit each other in other sports, but nobody is going FASTER when they hit than a full-speed hockey player.

I would say ice hockey.  to hit a slapshot while trying to balance on ice skates is difficult.  now try to play in an ENTIRE game!  it is physically and mentally exhausting.\n\nThe hardest thing to DO in sports is hit a 100mph fastball, but I think the overall hardest SPORT would be ice hockey.

I truly don't think he's either one. Gretzky was one of a kind, and Lemieux was the best pure goal scorer ever to play the game. Crosby's good, he's tough, but he's not in the class of Gretzky, Lemieux and, I'll add, Bobby Orr.

here is my opinion on it.  with hockey, the longer you play the harder and harder it is to maintain a level of excellence.  very few people can play hockey really well.  while the same is true for soccer, i think it is to a lesser degree.  i would chose soccer.

Canadians have bigger balls (yes I am talking about the footballs)\n;)

Johnny Nitro. He has more ambition and a really good athlete. All those moves he does takes alot of skill. Plus, i think he is younger than hardy and Johnny is just my pick all the way around.

Lemieux has a higher points-per-game average, so technichally, he could have scored more points. Its good to note though, durability is almost as important of an attribute than talent. And unfortunately for hockey, Lemieux didnt have the physical composure to keep going.

Great hockey player, one of my idols growing into the hockey fan that I am. Cruel God kept giving him illness. He was a legend, one of the best that ever played, right behind Gretzky.
