Generally speaking, the better the talent, the less stick swinging.
Eh, not always. My daughter's team has never played Bay Shore so I can't speak to that, but in her division the top skilled teams are often the most physical and it's not when it's a close game neccessarily either.
That said, it is also true that a team with less talent might up the checks, bumps, pushes, etc. I've seen that happen, too.
Big difference between being physical and swinging sticks. I have no problem with being physical. Sometimes lesser talented girls swing (overhead, windmill style swings) and you you don't see that with more talented girls.
Again, I disagree. Some of the top teams are known for late checks, butts to ribs, knuckle slashes and even the tomahawk swing. That's dirty play in my book.
