[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Playing both hockey and lacrosse would be tough, as both sports (if you want to have your child compete at the levels required for possible college play) have both become year round sports.  To be good at hockey, you need to have your child put in numerous hours on the ice in addition to trying out for elite teams that require ridiculous amounts of travel.  As to lacrosse, so many athletes are playing this sport year round, too--off season training, Sunday "scrimmages", fall club training, which are actually games,  and then the spring season rolls into a summer club season.  Further, both sports, are extremely physical and have a high level of concussion possibilities.  I know many kids play both of these sports up until middle school, but the requirements for high school sports around here, private club team play, academics, etc. make playing one of these sports, as opposed to two, a wiser decision, I believe.

Doesn't hockey have the same skill set as lacrosse?  If so, why not try to steer to lacrosse with more realistic recruitment possibilities?[/quote]
