you would think but what it really shows is how good elite level (and anybody in the NHL IS elite level) athletes are. ex-college and junior players are REALLY good but anybody who gets to the NHL level, even if they're just a fighter or enforcer is going to be even better. until you play with those people, and I've had the good fortune of playing with some former pros, ECHL and NHL you don't really realize how far above they are from the average beer league player.
