I played sweeper when I played hockey
Last line of defence before the goalie, as I had absolutely no finesse or skill whatsoever. I was about twice the size I am now as well.

My instructions were 'if someone makes it past the rest of the defence, do your best to break both their legs with that lump of wood in your hands'

Worked pretty well, we won the league/cup double two years in a row...

It's such a violent sport, getting on for as violent as rugby but with added weapons!

Dok - we need two goalies surely, unless we're playing Wembley?
