What are your thoughts on contact in the women's game? The nature of hockey is fast and sometimes contact is unavoidable. I know a few women who play professionally and they told me that they would prefer it be full contact. Do you think that contact in professional women's hockey should be legal or continue to be illegal?

Yeah, it’s certainly complicated. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts and providing such thoughtful answers! It’s something I’ve always wondered about.

Interesting. Some of the players I talked to actually mentioned that the non-contact rules are dangerous because so many players will turn their backs on the play thinking they won't be hit, but because of the speed and nature of the game, sometimes it's unavoidable. Anyways, thanks for the thoughtful answer! It's something I wonder all the time when watching women's hockey.
