I agree about men’s hockey it is just pro teams playing
But women’s hockey is still amateur and is very fun to watch. This Thur night USA plays Canada for the gold. This will be a game for the ages.
I’d rather watch pros. These men are the best in the world and the level of play is very high. The fact that they make their living at this sport does nothing to lessen the commitment and effort that they give. It’s the best in the world versus the best in the world. And there are several countries which have a shot at winning.
I find women’s hockey hard to watch (but I do watch sometimes). They may give max effort but there is a general low level of play. The fact that the only competitive teams (USA-Canada) have such bad behavior on and off the ice doesn’t help. I expect Canada will win like usual.
