it's still hot as balls even with all the ice (The ice is kept frozen not by the ambient temperature but by pipes 1-2" under the surface with sub-zero coolants pumped through them.) and hockey players are wearing a lot more pads than anybody but football players. They cramp just as much as anybody.

Hockey players just think they're tougher because compared to basketball players...they are.
