Does playing sports help with stress/anxiety?

[Tristanayoubi]

Yes i know this is something I can google, but im trying not to google anything unless its school related..

anyway, does (in my case) playing ice hockey relieve stress? smacking a puck around for a couple hours? laughing it up big time with my teammates?

just wondering, because ever since i started playing hockey again, i feel less anxious.

Definitely! Both exercising and hanging out with friends are excellent ways to relieve stress.
