Replying to Has anyone quit hockey for skiing?

I did this year and my dad is so pissed. The article is sbc skier got me thinking. My dad was always one who wanted me to be in the NHL, and so did i but a couple years ago hockey just changed i guess. I was always one of the better players on the team but theres just something about skiing that dragged me away from hockey. I am by no means a great skier, ive only been skiing for 2 years. But maybe thats something i like about hockey, you dont have to be the best, but you can still have a great time. I also hated how you HAD to play hockey, you had to go practice you had to go to the games. For skiing, i can decide if i want to go out this day. I can pick my runs, pick if i want to do park, glades, powder and nobody can tell me what i can and cannot do.
