She needs one good hit and she’s done playing in that league. And when that happens whoever hit her will be hated and ridiculed by the woke mafia for the rest of his life.
Lol Tanner Glass was a PPG NCAA player. This is not a good argumentAre the biological differences between the worst male player and the best female really bigger than the biological difference between Zdeno Chara and Nathan Gerbe? Outliers happen. Not saying it'll be her but I don't doubt that it's possible for a female player to come in and be more effective than, say, Tanner Glass.
Yes, they are. There are a lot of cases, which are not well reported or documented, when a star woman athlete lost against a mediocre man. US football national team against boys U-15 club, Serena Williams against male tennis player ranked in 200's. Then there are all those stories with biological men who identify as women entering swimming competitions and destroying the opposition. And those arent even contact sports. As others pointed out, a woman is not a "small man". A woman may be as tall or as heavy as a man, but still wont get close to his physique.Are the biological differences between the worst male player and the best female really bigger than the biological difference between Zdeno Chara and Nathan Gerbe?

It’s absolutely insane to me that people don’t understand the difference. It’s ridiculously massive.You clearly have no idea how good someone has to be to play in the NHL
Yeah, Hayley Wickenheiser, arguably the best female hockey player of all time, could barely hack it in a 3rd tier Finnish league.It’s absolutely insane to me that people don’t understand the difference. It’s ridiculously massive.
Anyone with eyes, and who doesn’t want to will something into existence for the sake of it, knows how ridiculous it is.
No they won't, so long as it's not a dirty hit. If it's a dirty hit, then they'll be ridiculed like a lot of dirty players. And some assholes will cheer it on, because they're so butt hurt about a woman playing in a league they don't think she should be playing in because reasons.She needs one good hit and she’s done playing in that league.

Tanner Glass never hit PPG and didn't start his NCAA career until his 20 year old season. He was just below PPG in his 22 and 23 year old seasons. Nothing special at all lol. Age matters.Lol Tanner Glass was a PPG NCAA player. This is not a good argument
I think the point it is that even the worst regular NHL players are miles better than the best women's players of all time. The only possible exception to this rule would be pure enforcers, but even then they'd probably fair better in the 3rd Finnish league than Wickenheiser. And they weren't in the NHL because they were good hockey players.Tanner Glass never hit PPG and didn't start his NCAA career until his 20 year old season.

Lol regardless, she wouldn’t be able to hold her own in ACHA club hockey, forget about NCAA.Tanner Glass never hit PPG and didn't start his NCAA career until his 20 year old season. He was just below PPG in his 22 and 23 year old seasons. Nothing special at all lol. Age matters.
Personally I don't think she'd be effective playing Minnesota boys varsity HS hockey. But I guess I could be wrong. I doubt it tho. I don't know if I've ever heard of a female ever playing boys varsity here, except for a goalie at a weaker school maybe twice.Lol regardless, she wouldn’t be able to hold her own in ACHA club hockey, forget about NCAA.
I mean, yeah, a woman firefighter is highly unlikely to carry me out of a burning fire... if they pass a physical requirement it's because the standards were lowered like in the military.No they won't, so long as it's not a dirty hit.

You guys are all being way too sensitive about this. If she's skilled enough to play in the league and wants to take the risk herself, so what? Let her play. She gets injured, it was her decision. Nobody's asking anyone to change any rules, nobody's saying the league should be full co-ed. I wonder if you all are against woman firefighters and cops who pass all the same physical requirements, because "cops and firefighters should be men and that's that."
EDIT: it goes without saying that if she's not skilled enough to play in the league, then she shouldn't play in the league.

Insinuating she could even sniff NCAA is absurdity on another level. I played w guys who went on to NCAA and they were so good it's scary.
I was in high school during the last lockout. A bunch of NHLers from Winnipeg would rent ice where my high school team practiced. We got to skate with them a couple times. Possibly the worst player from the NHL group was Ryan Reaves, and he was astronomically better than anyone from my HS group. It wasn't even close.I think the point it is that even the worst regular NHL players are miles better than the best women's players of all time.

Anyone who has played at a high enough level knows how absolutely insane even the worst NHL players are. I've shared ice a bunch of times with current/former NHL and AHLers and it's like nothing most fans can understand.I was in high school during the last lockout.

Now considering the best women's teams lose to boys teams not unlike my HS team, and my team was miles below a 3rd tier Finnish team (let alone NHLers like Reaves)... yea, women playing men's hockey makes 0 sense.
Girls can play with boys up until a certain level. Certainly ages 12, 13 and in the case of a super talented one like Primarano, U15. Unfortunately though, that is where it stops. Girls tend to mature physically faster than boys, and are often done growing around grades 6-8, whereas boys will get a big ol' boost of testosterone and grow much taller and physically stronger throughout their mid to late teenage years.2 years ago she played in the boy’s CSSHL U15, and was 2nd in scoring among dmen on her team. This is elite U15 men’s hockey, a very common path to the WHL - like from the last draft, Bedard, Danielson, Benson, Cristall, Wood, etc. all played in the CSSHL. She absolutely had the skill to compete with same age CSSHL players then, and I think she still has comparable skill. There are plenty of U18 CSSHL players who don’t have skating, hands and shots this good:

Again, not saying it'll be her, but the more female players that play the more likely that an extreme outlier could turn up that might not be a detriment to the team every time they're on the ice in a top league. Not saying a star just serviceable.This post is completely out of touch with reality.
No, the likelihood of a woman even being good enough to play in the ECHL is 0.00000%.Again, not saying it'll be her, but the more female players that play the more likely that an extreme outlier could turn up that might not be a detriment to the team every time they're on the ice in a top league. Not saying a star just serviceable.
No. Just, no.Again, not saying it'll be her, but the more female players that play the more likely that an extreme outlier could turn up that might not be a detriment to the team every time they're on the ice in a top league. Not saying a star just serviceable.
Some of the comments are trying to punish her for being good enough to get drafted. It's ridiculousShe was drafted in the 13th round people need to just get over it and realize it was a feel good story and good promotion. You guys are taking this too far.
She is however crazy elite at the Womans level
In the US, there's no adjusting the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT) for women. They have to pass the test same as anyone else. So yes, they would be able to haul your ass out of a fire. Highly likely, not highly unlikely.
Try not to be over-confident about things you don't know anything about.
Source: I know a woman firefighter and I watched her train and drank a beer with her to celebrate her passing her test.

Good for her. She's an insanely good player and looks to be the future face of women's hockey
