What is Ostrich Hockey?
1.
A term used to describe contact hockey with brutal hockey players. Usually consists of good hockey players, who gave up the dream, playing contact hockey against players that can barely skate (tri-pods). Because the brutal players cannot skate, their eyes are focused on their skates, hence, head in the dirt, like an ostrich. Furthermore, they cannot protect themselves, and are subject to devastating body contact.
College club hockey is a good example of this.
"Hows the league stuey?" "Ostrich hockey, guys skating with their heads down. These guys can get hurt out there."
