    This is really a great question! I was a wrestler in high school back in the caveman days of the ’70s. Scholastic wrestling (not the current TV junk) is an interesting sport because it is just you and a same-size opponent, with an inch of foam beneath you. For an athlete, wrestling represents the most true of personal contests. You win, you lose, no teammates to blame. Nonetheless, my current wife dismisses wrestling simply as ‘crotch sniffing.’ A few years ago I began to read about high school girls joining and competing on boys wrestling teams. I couldn’t dream of anything sillier. Why on Earth would a girl want to do this? Not only would they get legally groped, but in wrestling the natural muscle mass difference would be a pronounced disadvantage to a girl. A year ago I saw a TV news show on girls wrestling on high school boys teams. And as predicted these girls were getting whipped by the wimpiest boy wrestlers. And the show’s producer had an inordinate interest in determining if the boys on the team were copping endless feels of the girls. All confirming my suspicions. Yet the girls persisted on the team. Then suddenly they asked one of the girl wrestlers why she was doing this, and she said, ‘It was the most assertive thing I could do.’ Bingo! The light went off for me. She felt exactly as I had about wrestling. The feeling was the same, the motivation was the same, and for a female, she wanted to test herself in the hardest of situations. I was really proud of her. So I say if you want to play hockey, even on a boys team, go for it.
