re: Is hockey as violent as football?

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.

I'll agree with the traction but you aren't banging your head or body off of ice or plexiglass in football either. Both are violent sports for sure.
The real answer is Aussie rules football. It's a wonder those guys aren't dying left and right when you look at what they put their bodies through.
