Question about sport sense[edit]
We say, in ice hockey, it's "a player who uses a hockey stick to attempt to strike an opponent's head". Green's Newspeak (1984) suggests that in ice hockey and (less often) other contact sports it is a player who tries to intimidate/remove the opposition's star players. Not necessarily by hitting them in the head! Equinox ◑ 20:00, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
