Not to mention:
About 1,500 people turned out for the exhibition game, which was non-checking.

Dubbs, I hope you have 5 daughters someday who are looked down on because they play women's athletics.

... and the fact that they will look like you and whatever poor girl you sucker in to having your children won't help either.

Oh, and great luck on a fantastic 2006 season! I hope all is well... :wink:

The gap between men and women's hockey is far smaller than the gap in men and women's lacrosse. Id take girl's hockey anyday over girl's lax.

Men's and women's lacrosse is border line two different games, like baseball and softball. The basis is the same, but the strategy and stuff are way different.

Yeah but Im saying in terms of athleticism and skill. Having played hockey for many years I watched them on tv and was impressed (not impressed at the lack of hitting though).

I know, I know. We had a double header here on Wednesday night and we had about 800 out for the boy's game and maybe 50 stayed for the girl's game right after. Ouch.

Wrong. Brando and I attended more St. Ben's Soccer, Basketball and Volleyball games than anyone on our lacrosse team combined.
