Not sure why you're laughing. This isn't even a serious question. Hockey players are elite level athletes.

It’s pretty fricking disgusting seeing all these most assuredly non-Europeans on European teams.

The stars have absolutely shown up and impressed. Can’t remember a tournament where the stars have all consistently been awesome

Hockey is also an attack sport and the players develop what the sport calls "hockey sense", which in soccer would be the ability to read and break down plays and make good decisions with the ball.
I watch soccer and I see the same concepts of triangulation, ball (puck) movement, breaking plays down into 2v1, defensive coverage concepts, fore check concepts, taking away passing lanes, etc, etc.
It's easy for me to read the play and predict where the ball is going next, where the weakness in coverage is, where to move the ball to create odd man situations, and creating time/space.
The sports are very similar in these concepts, and things happen much, much faster in hockey. Hockey players would definitely have the game sense and spatial awareness to be good soccer players.

My sister is a hockey Mom. All 3 of her kids play hockey in season and lacrosse off season. Keeps them in shape, similar hand eye skills and tactics.

Egypt got really screwed by bogus VAR foul disallowing their 3rd goal
