So this weekend my brother had a hockey game that I went to go watch. I traveled all the way to buffalo to watch his team get beat 5-2. Anyways, during his game he got absolutely destroyed at center ice. It sounds like it would really hurt but getting hit in the center of the ice isn't as bad as it sounds, getting hit against the boards it way worse which I know from experience (I have had my fair share of getting hit myself). But, this got me thinking of why it hurts more getting hit against the boards rather then at center ice. It looks as if it would hurt more getting hit at center ice but it actually doesn't thinking about force over a given period of time. Getting hit center ice means that the force that you get hit with is carried out over a longer period of time rather then against the boards meaning you will feel the force against the boards more because it is carried out over less time. Below are some examples of why it seems lik getting hit open ice would hurt more than at open ice.
