As a proud advocate for women’s hockey Kim McCullough is ecstatic that physical play is being incorporated into the women’s game more and more. It's always been a contact sport just like the men's game, but the skill and speed is increasing consistently, and that's led to more of an emphasis and incoporating proper techniques for physical play. McCullough gave an in-depth presentation at TCS Live on ways to teach physicality in women's and men's hockey.
