Hockey VS. Rugby

     Today, I'll be comparing and contrasting Hockey & Rugby. If you are a huge fan of Rugby who is going to fail to NOT comment rudely on this post, hit the back button.

 OK, here are the similarities between the two sports:
  • Both sports have goals to get a puck/rugby ball into.
  • Both sports have some form of tackling/checking.
...Yeah, that's pretty much it. Here are the contrasts:
  • Hockey is on ice or roller blades, while Rugby is only on foot, usually on grass :(
  • Hockey has a stand up goal, while Rugby has a "touchdown" area on the grass, like football. 
  • In Hockey, there are goalies, which are not in Rugby. 
  • In Hockey, you have awesome blocking pads (for goalies), and gloves. In Rugby, you just have you.
 Etc.
