A AHL team or ECHL team would wipe those ladies up in a heart beat

I just watched some as they progress through the lines you can see a major drop in speed and puck handling

Actually what is interesting is girls tend to play hockey better then boys at a early age because they have more advance gross motor skills (better skaters and stick handling) but usually come Bantam (14u) when full checking comes into to play the girls are gone(USA hockey allows co-ed hockey until Midget {18u}); girls also buy into team play much quicker then boys so all girl teams pre-bantam if skilled generally are pretty darn good

Then this little thing called puberty hits and well....
