Have watched a LOT of football and hockey these past 11 years or so and still get a lump in my throat when a player is skating full tilt, loses an edge and crashes into the boards head/shoulder first....... scares the heck out of me more than any football play I see.........

Alt from CDH played both a couple years ago.

Anders Lee was the coverboy for MN Hockey as a 3-sport athlete.
He doesn't appear to be too burned out.
That was only 5 years ago; have things changed that much in only 5 years?

Believe Lavalle from HM was a 3 sport kid too and excelled in all 3

And cannot recall any for several years.

I believe their top goalie is a starting WR

Forgot about Grant.
Not only a player, but captain on the football team as a wide receiver.

Mitch McLain from Brainerd was a 3 sport standout couple years ago as well. ( Football, hockey, baseball).

If you are under D1 consideration, you just may be strongly encouraged not too play football.

Jaxon Nelson (Freshman) is starting to contribute more and more each week to the 4th ranked Luverne Cardinal Varsity team.

Let's change the table around...What if you are verbally committed or under consideration to play a D1 sport (Baseball, Lacrosse, Track, Tennis, etc.), but you love to play high school hockey and you are good at it. What should you do? Just a question.

Depends on what your college coach tells you to do. Most college coaches I know (football and basketball coaches) encourage their recruits to play multiple sports, so I don't think it is as big of an issue as what some might think. But the bottom line is if the man who is giving you a full ride to play a sport recommends something you better listen.

Yep.

Anyone ever offers my kid any money to play a sport post-hs... everything else is now considered off-the-table.

Not even ping-pong.

if you are good enough, you are good enough.

Sports after HS are a business. Your boss wants to protect their interest, it has nothing to do with the players.

I had an ex-pro baseball player tell me to have my kids play ping pong as it is good for hand/eye coordination.

You've never seen my boy play ping-pong. Everything is full-contact in his twisted little world ... he get's it from his mom.

I've heard it is especially good for goalies - at higher levels of table tennis (not ping pong) you need very quick reflexes!

Badminton is another surpringly fast and athletic sport when played at high levels.
