Back in the 60s, I went to many Chicago Blackhawks games. I still have memories of seeing the officials cringe when a slap shot was coming toward their head, especially one shot by someone like Bobby Hull. And this was before the officials (or the players) wore helmets. One of my friends said they couldn't pay him enough to work those games.

BTW - speaking of lacrosse. One of my grandsons, Nick (he's 11), told me the only sport he wants to play is lacrosse. When I asked him why, he replied "Because you can hit the other guys with a stick and it's legal!"
