I'm am pleased not unhappy dismayed by the report that girls are more prone to being injured while participating in sports than boys. I'm all for girls participating in sports, and I'm all for girls participating in sports against boys; but when a 5-foot-3-inch (or 5-foot-10-inch, for that matter), 130-pound girl gets checked in a boys' high school hockey game by a 6-foot-4-inch, 225-pound defenseman and gets hurt, please recall this article about 8 months into your daughter's rehab and ask yourself if it was worth it.
Ouch. Girls who play hockey with boys need a little extra handicap... like an electric cattle prod attached to the end of the hockey stick?

Trust me...I know.

Every once in a while, I'll see a girl playing hockey at Will's level (AA- Bantam) and I think, girlfriend, you're asking for it.....
