spyder 0 Report post Posted March 24, 2009 I have noticed a significant amount of players falling down on the ice in every game, I have played hockey for many years and can go many full games without falling down once unless being hit. I have seen less players fall down in mini-mite games with kids that can barely skate than I am seeing in the pros, what gives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
