11 Reasons Why You Should Totally Marry A Female Hockey Player

10. She Has A High Pain Threshold

Although hockey is a non contact sport, it can be the cause of some pretty horrific injuries. That ball is extremely heavy and very hard, so when someone slaps it right into your sternum or collar bone, you're not going to be able to keep on playing - no matter how loud you shout at your coach and convince them that the hockey ball shaped hole in your chest is supposed to be there. She's been hit, kicked, tripped up and she has grass or turf burns all over her legs and arms, but she still gets up and keeps on going. Unless she's taken a ball to the face in which case it's a trip to the hospital and she won't appreciate this outside of the pitch either.
