US Women's Hockey team loses to High School Team

I can guarantee you no one in the WNBA could stop Greg Oden. A 7-foot monster center vs. Lisa Leslie, a 6'5" center? Not really much of a matchup there.

I think the same would have to hold true for the best boys' hockey players in the country. The ice speed of these guys is probably way too much even for the best female players in the world.
Also, I'm quite certain the fastest high school high school boy sprinters in the country would hold the female world record in every major sprint category.

But, an average to above average high school boys basketball or hockey team would probably lose to an all-star cast of adult women.

It's expected that a high school boys team should outmatch them physically, but you'd think that an olympic quality team would have a huge edge technically. Hockey is a much more technical sport than track, and size isn't as much of a factor in a non-checking game as it would be in basketball.
