NHL’s Hardest Hits Ever!

[@CN-uc6py]

They actually hit at a higher speed in hockey. A study was done and it found hockey hits are, on average, 17% harder that football even though they weigh less. The equipment is actually much less protective than football padding. Also, many, many players have died and found to have had brain injuries.

[@jawbone78]

Football equipment is vastly less protective than hockey equipment. Both sports use shoulder pads and helmets, which may or may not be more effective in football (don't know, don't care), but hockey players also wear elbow pads, padded gloves, padded pants (some football players wear some additional padding here), and shin pads covering from above the knee to the ankles. They need it more, because of the nature of the sport (skates and sticks, high speeds), but those guys are armored head to toe.

[@CN-uc6py]

@@jawbone78 hockey player may wear more equipment as in total coverage. I agree with that. However, the shoulder pads and helmet in football are much more protective. Even though hockey equipment covers more areas, the injuries sustained even while wearing the equipment are no different than the injuries sustained in football. With that being the case, one has to then concede hockey is much more dangerous.

[@jawbone78]

@@CN-uc6py it's not though. Football has a higher concussion rate and a higher overall injury rate. The difference between them is that hard contact is a part of hockey, and players regularly get hit, but it occurs in almost every second of every play in football. Football is more dangerous.

[@jesterone5490]

@@jawbone78 can't say football is more dangerous and im not saying hockey is, more concussions yes, you ever see a throat get cut while playing football? Sticks used as weapons? The difference is when football players hit eachother its more solid hits in both ends because they play on dirt as where ice it's easier to loose balance and glide after the hit. These two sports can say are more dangerous then any other sport besides rugby

[@Dabberdans]

Yea hockey hits are way harder than football hits lmao idc what anyone says. Hockey players are a different breed, constantly playing with injuries or going back out after getting injured. There are many head injuries in hockey, I happened to have 3 concussions in 3 years from some pretty bad hits unfortunately. 2 on a boarding penalty and 1 from a hit from behind🤦🏽‍♂️can't play contact sports anymore

Also think of a 200lbs guy coming at you full speed on ice, that's faster than football players on a field.

@Tack Draas are you out of your mind? There are more concussions and hockey than there are in football.

[@melrauko]

@Tack Draas I get what you're saying and both sports have very legitimate safety issues. NFL has the grinding job of 50 trench collisions a game, hockey has higher speeds and a much less forgiving surface. In fact bouncing your head off the ice is deadly and probably the scariest thing in the sport. Fucking around with no helmet is no joke. NFL has a dark history with player health but Canada has multiple nationally known heroes who died of injuries sustained on the ice, and not just head injuries.

Momentum = mass x velocity, something the average football meathead can't understand.

@@TheCrazyCanuck420 Actually the Kinetic Energy done in the collision is KE= 1/2m * v^2. The velocity being squared is why the hits do so much more damage. Mass is negligible as it is proportional, however the velocity is squared, so any difference in velocity results in a large difference in result. But yeah, you got the premise.

they move faster, but being on skates and ice means there's less traction, means they don't have as much body weight put into the hit.

I've been a Hockey fan since 1976. Over the years I have taken 3 of my black friends to NHL games. None of them had ever been exposed to hockey. All 3 came away from the game die-hard hockey fans. The same goes for the 6 or 7 other ladies I have introduced to it over the years on dates. Yes, hockey games as a date. If she doesn't like hockey she can hit the road. Anyway, Hockey has always been a predominately white sport. Why I don't know. But I am thrilled to see that thanks to videos like this Hockey is being exposed to a whole new group of fans. So welcome aboard and enjoy the sport. If you like it now, go to a live game. There is no other sport that even compares to live hockey. Also, remember, unlike the 17-game NFL schedule, these guys play 82 games plus playoffs. They are the toughest athletes around.

[@legendofnoob]

Hockey is primarily a white sport mainly because of the expensive nature of the game. If a kid is to start hockey at an early age, the parents would have to spend tens of thousands of dollars on his equipment, ice time etc. And the reality is that most minority families are either not willing to, or can't afford to put their kids in such programs.

[@mikes3827]

@@legendofnoob There's some truth in that, yes, but also that hockey was (and still is) HUGELY popular in predominantly white countries, such as Canada, Russia, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland, etc., and even in the northern US. But no question the cost is a factor, though many white kids/families are far from rich when they allow their kid(s) to play.

[@legendofnoob]

@@mikes3827 I used to work at a hotel and whenever there was a youth hockey tournament it would be overrun with hockey kids and their parents. You're right they're not all rich, most are middle class families. But you can see how taxing a kid playing hockey is on his family's finances. Most of the parents are rude and cheap, probably not in a good mood having shed hundreds for their kid to play one tournament. But the reason they do it is because either they were fans themselves, as you said, the audience of hockey has also been predominantly white.

Throw in hits to the boards and the razor sharp skate blades, it's no wonder few players make it through an entire year without some sort of injury.

[@goodmanwiseman303]

In hockey, they call it a suicide pass when you get a pass from straight behind yourself, forcing you to look straight back while moving forward and usually you turn your body to get the puck. Then you’re in the absolute most vulnerable position possible to get hit and these are usually the most painful hits. Surprisingly, the hits on the boards don’t usually hurt, but every now and then, you’ll get crunched by a 250+ pounder on the boards and your rib cage will be like an accordion and you’ll get all of your wind knocked out of you. Those are pretty painful. But the worst possible hit is getting hit head first into the boards from behind. There’s a high possibility of breaking your neck.

[@juicesghost8501]

Couple points for you guys as new to hockey- Penalties wont get called until the team that is to be penalized touches the puck again, ref will hold his hand up to signify the penalty is coming, giving the other team a chance until the offenders touch it, thats why you arent seeing the penalties called right away. 2nd- While brutally savage hits happen in hockey, checking against the boards injuries can be lessened from the incoming hit by getting/jumping up off the ice a little bit and letting your body go into the boards/glass to absorb the power/energy, The boards and glass will give flex/bow to absorb some of the hit. thats why you see them leave their feet when they the see the hit coming along the boards. But alot of these were the worst hits in hockey so alot didnt see them coming. You should watch a "Hockey best fights" video, you will be amazed the savagery its awesome.

Hockey is my absolute favorite sport to watch live. Watching 200 lb guys skating over 30 mph shooting pucks about 100 mph is a spectacle. Plus, the 200 lb players can hit each other & even throw down their gloves & punch each other in the face if they feel one of them crossed a line. On top of the hard hits & fights, the best part is seeing the agile offensive plays where players come in with speed & basically dance through the defense to score or when two or more players make pin point passes to each other on the move to score. Goalies are also amazing in how the athleticism they show keeping the puck out of the 4 ft by 6 ft net. It's a great sport, the only one I can season tickets to & keep my interest the same from beginning of the season to the end of postseason. Not ripping any other sports, hockey is just the one I love to watch, especially live. Anyone who has never watched a hockey game should give it a try. Before the game, familiarize yourself with icing & offsides. Those are the two most common reasons for stoppage in play. if you understand what's going on with those two calls, you can pick up everything else as it happens.

[@nebidiaswift5200]

Sorry my friends you got it wrong about the concussions. Hockey players are almost always going faster than any football player. By perspective Chris Johnson ran 22 mph, and McDavid is hitting almost 30. Outside the extremes the avarrage speed of a puck carrier is less than the one without and they are still going 15 mph at any point. Gliding is faster than running and the result is bigger regular hits in nhl vs nfl. Concussions are a problem in the nfl more than nhl because of publicity only and maybe a little bit that it football your head goes right to the ground sometimes where hockey it’s often to the back sliding

Most checks are angled, so the closing speed is closer to 30 MPH, and the rule is you have to contact shoulder to shoulder, shoulder to body, or hip to hip (hip checking). If you launch upwards, raise your shoulder, stick out your elbow, or "submarine" someone by hip checking them below the hip, that's a penalty, and very often a match penalty (ejection) for intent to injure, and can get you suspended. It's because the game is so fast that the safety is emphasized, as one bad head hit can cause serious concussion issues, and CTE is a huge concern. In fact, if any check or hit to the head occurs now, that player *must* go to "the quiet room" where a concussions specialist is on stand by at every game, and if they determine that there is a concussion, that player is not allowed to return to the game, or play in any match, until cleared by medical professionals.

Watching you guys faces is cracking me up. This white guy grew up playing hockey since I was 6 years old. Thanks for the video

[@kylekinney9455]

Dude...it's ice...you ever noticed hiw you stroll on some concrete versus shooting down the f$%@#&% driveway like a human bobsled....those dudes are FLYIN!! Love the channel btw

[@petermozuraitis5219]

Listen, listen, even if you don't watch all the time, tune into the playoffs. Playoff hockey is absolutely electric !!! A team may only score 2 goals a game in a best of seven series, so every single play, every shift, matters. A bucket list moment is going to a playoff game live, but Maple Leaf tickets are a knife to the bank account

[@AlexanderTate.]

You all should post a reaction of you all watching hockey live. It’s so much different live. You’ll love it

[@coltonmason5891]

Number one rule of hockey, keep your head up!

[@Sneakycastro69]

Can you imagine a Rey Lewis type of hitter in hockey? He would probably kill someone going at high velocity like that.

[@25svbn]

You guys are hilarious man 😂😂😂😂 lmao ❤🇨🇦. Those hockey players are tough as nails man 😂😂😂

[@michaelmacintyre9643]

One thing a lot of people miss, where some of these hits result in injury, most of these guys get up right away as if nothing happened. Hockey players (Canadians) are a different breed.I know a lot of Canadians, and where they as a whole are very friendly, they are not afraid to chuck knuckles when required.

[@mattallarie12]

If you guys want to see some big hits, search up “Scott Stevens hits”. He was one of the biggest hitters in the 90s early 2000s. A lot of his hits by todays standards would have been penalty’s but back in those days they were clean hits. Theres one incident where he hits Paul Kayria who is like half his size and absolutely demolishes him. This hit really started a chain of concussion issues with Kariya which eventually led to him retiring because of post-concussion syndrome.

[@mgray1609]

Hockey is hands down the greatest sport. Anyone can pick up almost any other sport. You cannot just pickup hockey and be good in 6 months. It takes actual skill and dedication

[@J0kerJOe]

Number 1 was nuts but there are lot of better hits out there than the other 99. Love your guys content though!

[@arcangel4809]

12:47 haha i was waiting for this one 🤣

[@templarrising6299]

and they wonder why hockey needs enforcers

[@mikeshlyak7070]

Hockey players are a different breed. They have no fear in hitting and they all have respect for each other.

[@Swaggs907]

As we always say, things happen when you’re coming through the trolly tracks.💥

[@mikes3827]

Guys, MANY hockey players end up with CTE. Hockey is a brutal, tough game, and when world-class skaters are flying down the ice at 20-25 MPH, then an opposing player lays a shoulder hit into that unsuspecting opposing player, there is almost guaranteed to be an instant concussion. Then there's all the legal fighting, and some guys get their bell rung one too many times, and CTE comes with that too. I'd say football gets the most CTE injuries, but hockey is right up there.

[@mikefoley5792]

I don't know if anybody else has mentioned this, but in hockey, you can't take more then three steps toward a guy to check him, which is a hit. They would kill each other if they just skated at them from far away. That is called targeting and it is a penalty. That is also why there are some really good hits and some illegal ones. It's hard to nail someone from not far away. You can push into the guy with a couple of steps and make it a hard one, or glide into him, but that is it. And yes, they wear shoulder pads.

[@karidennis6154]

You should check out videos from the 80’s, i remember huge fights where both teams ran out on the ice and went for it.

[@TonyaPoindexter-w5i]

😂 Sol said is that a fowl?😁❤ 🤭 Oh grasshopper, you have much to learn 🤓 But you're on your way!

[@MaxvanBrian]

The answer to 60 and 61 is yes, all you have to do is search for biggest slashes, there’s been some real dirty ones throughout the years! It’ll be pretty gruesome though so put on a seatbelt. Nice videos gents, you guys are hilarious and a good time!! Love from Canada

[@MP80sBaby]

Greatest sport of them all. Nothing. Compares. ,checking , the skill some players have, only sport that allows fighting.

[@legendofnoob]

The NHL does have stricter concussion protocols nowadays, and CTE is a big problem in hockey especially with “enforcer" guys who always have to fight. The problem is worse in minor leagues since fighting is one of the attractions that people pay to see.

[@EdmontonRealEstate01]

If you guys liked this, consider watching “The Code.” This is a video on why there is fighting (more like was now) in hockey and what it’s purpose was. I think you’ll find it interesting. Also, the NHL has been in America since 1924 (a hundred years). Believe it or not, there is a rich history and tradition of hockey in America. My team isn’t an American team, though. I cheer for the Edmonton Oilers. A team that has won five Stanley Cups.

[@speezuss]

There’s a documentary on fighting and cte and hitting and cte in hockey highlighting the life and death of a young player named Derek Boogard. Rip Boogs

[@scohatch9755]

The NHL, what you just watched, is the level of competition that players start relaxing and is less violent than the road to get to the NHL. The average hockey player never makes it, because of an injury. The average player that never makes it to college, will still have a life long injury. I never had a career stopper and still have life long injuries from playing.

[@MikeWall-eq4xs]

I am a retired University Professor, and I had a student who wrote his Master's thesis on the effects of concussions in hockey. It is definitely an issue for hockey players.

[@jeffdodson4677]

My wife was never a big sports fan until we met. Now she loves contact sports. Her favorites are Football, Hockey, Rugby, & Lacrosse. I took her to 1 of my lacrosse games when we were dating. I play defense. She saw me level a guy and she’s been a fan ever since. So if you like fast pace contact sports, take it from her on which sports to watch.

[@JasonRyan-m4g]

Fair warning, ice hockey is dope because of the skills level that it commands and the physicality of it. If you watch it, you might get hooked.

[@florida52001]

nhl hockey is a dangerous game. teams have "enforcers" that are literally bullies that attack. they make much less money than football players and the game is more damaging. respect to nhl players

[@birderjohn3396]

All these hits were clean. You should see the dirty ones, and the fights that follow.

[@Darcstarr]

As a Canadian who grew up on skates I wanna correct you on something right quick. On skates at that level you are travelling around 20-30 MPH, so if you see someone striding at you they're most likely moving at that speed. Now think about the other player moving toward you around the same speed and colliding. Basically a mini car crash experience and even with top level equipment you're gonna feel it. NOTE: I had to quit hockey at 17 because I already had 10 concussions.

[@meghanhickman544]

A solid hit by Kronwall will forever be my favorite. I love people discovering how violent hockey can be lol

[@rustysalmonella7681]

One major difference between hockey and football, in football, you know they are looking to hit you whenever you come near. Hockey has a much bigger preparedness effect. Most big hits in hockey come as a total surprise to the recipient. You are also landing on ice

[@MrDreyes187]

They Need to Watch NHL Longest Suspensions to see the Best/Worst Actions in NHL History…It’s Lit AF🔥🔥🔥

[@bradlymiller4936]

If you’ve never had a chance to attend a national hockey league game I would highly recommend it. You cannot appreciate the speed watching on television. Amazing sport.

[@CarterH1998]

Good content bruh and I like that USC jacket, i graduated there in 2020. Also a big hockey fan i used to play varsity hockey

[@miket9133]

The biggest hitter all time in NHL is Dustin Byfuglien. There will never be another like big Buff. Also the first player to ever hit the dab after scoring a goal in an NHL game. He’s legendary.

[@paulgrimes1472]

I'm from Florida, never seen snow, and I'm a die hard football fan. My friend took me to a Lightning game, and I am hooked, to me, hockey players are the best athletes out there.
