The speed of football players > the speed of hockey players.
You aren't familiar with hockey. Most players skate within the 21-24MPH range at top speed and have boards/glass as boundaries and a hard ice playing surface. The fastest football players max out at 20-22 MPH and that's usually open field once they get a head of steam.
Hockey has a ton of concussions and its a huge problem. Watch the Boogard documentary on the NY Times website it will scare the shite out of you when they show his brain damage.
