Even straight men in general don't have much interest in hockey R15. I played it as a kid, but it is very regional. Every young boy can aspire to be a baseball, football, or basketball player. Hockey not so much.

Add to that it is a pretty brutal sport. Football can be rough of course, but not on the 24/7 (game wise) hockey is.

I quit playing in my later teen years. I still like ice skating (not the same as figure skating), but I liked my teeth too much to continue.

That something is trophy wife mothers. Successful WASP businessmen with an athletics background go for the prom queen/cheerleader types.

That said, hockey also has its share of gangly, baby bird and knuckle-dragging neanderthal types. I think it's just that the sport's emphasis on speed, strength, stamina, AND coordination tends toward general good health/athleticism rather than the specialized types you see in football or basketball players or track & field athletes. Healthy, fast, & strong + jack-of-all-trades athleticism is going to result in more average features than the sports that require extremes of one sort; the closer one's features are to average, the more attractive they are in general.

Human beings are predisposed to think that healthy young people are good-looking - that's biology at work. Looking for sexual mates, biology says to pick the strong, healthy ones. The same actually applies to regular, symmetrical features, which are also often indicative of good health. . (One reason why Sarah Huckabee Sanders does not win many beauty awards). Athletes in general are going to "read" as healthy, and thus as good-looking. But feature by feature, I didn't find most of the guys in that hockey lineup anywhere close to model-beautiful. Still very attractive and would have no problem getting sexual partners!

Almost all UFC fighters have broken / flattened-noses (due to continually being punched in the nose).

The might have been hot once - but their faces eventually get totally wrecked. (Hockey also has its share of broken noses - but far less compared to UFC.)

Ice hockey broken teeth can be fixed with veneers - UFC shattered noses are much harder to fix. Ask Cameron Diaz.

R72, “Ferocious when provoked” is 99% of hockey players. E.g. Ovechkin is like a “cuddly Teddy” and “approachable in a nice-guy way” when off the ice too - but he recently knocked out another player on the ice.

Benn can be as “ferocious” as he wants, but at the end of the day he’s not particularly big so, no, he doesn’t have “brute strength” compared to bigger enforcers. He looked ridiculous, like a border collie barking at a St. Bernard, trying to fight a 6’ 7’’ 200+ pound guy who simply held him back with one hand until Benn gave up. Benn was lucky that the bigger guy wasn’t particularly interested in fighting him, lol.

He got made Captain not because he’s “ferocious” - but because he can string 2 sentences together to negotiate with refs on calls (a basic level of communication skills that many hockey players lack).

Part of what has turned youth hockey into a "premium" rich-kids' sport is that the cost of ice time at arenas has sky-rocketed, sometimes getting close to $1k per hour for nicer rinks and facilities. So you have some schools and programs paying $50k weekly to get all their teams sufficient ice time. The bulk of that cost get's billed to parents' of the players. Tack onto that the cost of expensive uniforms, skates and gear (which are crazy expensive new). My sister has three kids in hockey. I asked her how much they spend yearly on the sport and she said at least $40k, probably more when you account for other things like gas and hotel rooms for away games.

As for the OP's topic, I fucking love hockey players. They are definitely way hotter than any other sport.

Is that the monthly breakdown R100? If that's the case, that seems low actually. It's probably closer to a $4k or $5K cost. Mind you, the actual sport itself is probably only somewhere around $2k monthly. There's a lot of incidental crap that stems from being on a team sport. For example, once a month or so, my sister has to host team carbo-load dinners for the kids (which means catering because who the fuck is gonna cook for 15 kids or whatever). The last one came out to around $1500 when you account for the booze for the parents. It should also be mentioned that they're a "hockey family." It's basically all the kids do, and they do it year round. Her friend has four boys in it. They legit spend around $100k yearly for them to be in hockey, but they go to special schools and camps.

R102, you also missed the possessive parents' in the same sentence. I don't quite know what was going on in that one. Sheesh. Oh Dear is right.

Seriously though, given a chance to ressurect any hottie from the Hockey Graveyard I’d give Michael Mantenuto (shown in the link^^) a hell of a look.

After dropping out of wunderkind College league career (he was NHL-bound) because his beloved Coach & father figure died and his girlfriend had an unexpected baby, he became a CK model & actor for a short while (see his fine performance in the excellent MIRACLE with Kurt Russell). While he looked on track for great success thanks to his charisma and pretty looks (and yes, he had a nice tight body too before you animals ask), a few years later he found the cutthroat Hollywood life too much and returned home to look after his family.

To pay his bills and get steady work to feed his daughter, working-class Mantenuto then enlisted in the army with the Green Berets. He became an Officer in short order and then an advocate for mental health in the Special Forces, working for seven long hard years. He even found time to coach Peewee hockey went home from tours.

Unfortunately his paths post-hockey had tragic fatal consequences; at 35 years old he shot himself following campaigns in Iran and a long battle with suicidal depression.

He was beautiful, caring, well-loved and a brilliant hockey player & coach whose promising career ended too soon. The only bright side is that he didn’t have to get old, ugly, beaten-up or fail out of the League (but then again he never made it there, so what does it matter?). RIP Manto, G2S.

I’ve often wondered how much downlow sex goes on between teammates & opponents in hockey. It’s whispered that undercover gay sex is rife in other traditionally-masc team sports (in particular baseball, College football & soccer) as well as in wrestling & rowing - so why not hockey too? The hypermasculinity is there, as are the pheromones and the young fit bodies. It would make sense, especially when teams play away or on tour unable to see their wives & girlfriends.

I found this Wikifact rather interesting...

[quote] In 2006, a Sports Illustrated poll of roughly 1,400 professional athletes found that a majority would be willing to accept a gay teammate. Although an aggressive and often violent sport, professional hockey (NHL) athletes seemed to be the most accepting of such teammates as 80% of its players approved of having a gay teammate.

I think the team suspended him recently for a brief time, maybe poor play even though he made the All Star Game?

Isn't he one of the fastest skaters in the NHL? I'll surely be following him now on social media.

...

There have been rumors about Tyler Seguin of Dallas, mentioned earlier with a photo. He did an ESPN Body photo a few years ago, so yes he likes the limelight, as evidenced by his raising his jersey in pre-game warmups revealing his abs in that photo earlier.

I've read rumors of Seguin possibly being bi; I overheard passengers in my cab several years ago, after his partying days playing for the Boston Bruins, that they knew someone who was with Seguin in a MMF threesome. Who knows, but it's still fun to imagine.

As a NHL fan for years, certainly not all hockey players are hot or even good looking. But the ones who are are yummy! Other sports often seem to have as good or better looking athletes, I believe.

And to the poster earlier who said hockey players can't be hot because they have no teeth: on ice and and in interviews, almost all seem to have teeth, real or not. Occasionally some players are seen with missing teeth during games or in interviews, but don't most hockey fans here think that's uncommon?

Just watched a “”Locked Up Abroad” about a Canadian hockey player who almost went pro but got kicked off team for bad behavior. He was smuggling pot into the US (hard to believe it was all illegal just a few years ago) and got caught by US. (Side note: glad they finally did one on US to show IS prisons as being as horrific and violent as many third world prisons)

Anyway, the ex-hockey player/drug runner said there was one guard who “had it out for him”. Pulled him out of line one day, took him into a room and said “you’re hiding drugs”. Made him strip naked and then fingered him while he bent over for 5 minutes. The guard is probably a DLer.
