Really, now? You realize that you can skate a lot faster than you can run, right?

I would imagine hits in hockey are slightly less violent than football only because of traction. In football, you have cleats digging into the ground giving you all kinds of leverage. It seems like the skates on ice can reduce some of the force of the hit since your footing isn't nearly as good as having your feet dug in to the ground.
I stress the word slightly in that first sentence because hockey hits can certainly be vicious.
