15 Inspirational Ice Hockey Quotes

 
Here are 15 inspirational ice hockey quotes. Hockey is one of the harder sports to master. Most people can’t even ice skate let alone do it while controlling a puck and dodging guys holding sticks as you quickly search for an opening where you can shoot the puck pass another guy wearing full body armor. On top of that, there’s the potential of getting into a fight where you might come out missing a few of your teeth or at least have your knuckles all bloody. This isn’t a sport for the weak; it’s a sport for men who are graceful on the ice yet tough enough to handle the devastating impact of getting slammed against the glass.
