Here it is:
Which is a more overall athletically demanding sport: Hockey, or Basketball? Take into account endurance, toughness, athletic ability, stamina and overall skill set to play and excel at the game.

Having played hockey for better than half my life.... Hockey is by far more demanding of pure athletic ability.
