Grand National

[Catherine]

I can see how important it is. It doesn't have to be so dangerous.

Hockey used to be more dangerous. Players did not wear helmets and face guards. Players got hurt, some badly. The players are better protected now and the game is safer, but the Stanley Cup is still the goal of every team and the games are still very exciting.

The National could be run with a little more regard to safety and it would still be an exciting race.
