According to an article that is called “Soccer players need superior aerobic strength; Their shifts can last 45 minutes; hockey players' average ice time is 30 seconds” says that soccer players are fitness and have a lot of skills such as speed and durability that hockey players do not have because they care about the body size and strength, but they play less time than soccer players.
