Groin Pain is truly gruesome.

I heard of this hockey player who got a slight pull on his groin but, being the stubborn knucklehead he was, didn't want to stop playing. He skated through 3 games with it and the next day it hurt like hell.

That was also the day they were to play the championship game with his team.

So what did this hockey player do? Make a reasonable choice? Nah.

He decided to grit it out like a badass. Slabbed on a load of Icy Hot, went to the championship game.

Suiting up in the locker room, doubt finally began creeping into his head...

Maybe ignoring the injury wasn't such a good idea after all??

Yet he still didn't decide to NOT play.

So he started the game. Took the first face-off of the final while hardly able to skate.

Normally the fastest guy on the ice, he couldn't do shit with his injury.

It took 2 periods (and a bit of a hit in a goalmouth scramble) for him to decide he couldn't play, and tell the coach.

You know where this is going, right?

Waaayyyy too late.

Getting undressed was hell.

He could hardly move his leg. Walking hurt, driving hurt (which he had 3 hours of), EVERYTHING hurt.

Finally, he got home, chugged back a handful of painkillers, crawled under the blankets.

The next morning, he could barely walk, ended up lying in bed all day like a cripple.

The pain was so bad at times he thought he would never play again.

Freaky, isn't it?

Let's face it, that's not a feeling any hockey player who loves the game wants to experience.

The point?

Groin strains are not fun by any means.

And this is why I think every hockey player should take whatever steps to prevent them necessary.
