remember what those old wooden sticks were like? Girls today would struggle using that as opposed to their GAIT stick. There's a reason why the top-14 single season goalie save % were all over 20 years ago.
Also, aren't there more teams (players) in D1 now than 25 years ago?[/quote]
I'm not sure skills are any better. But athleticism is night and day. Kids are faster, stronger and more equipped for the rigors of today's game compared to 20 yrs ago[/quote]
