∙ 9y agoNo not at all. In cheerleading sure you are at risk for some severe injuries but in hockey its pretty easy to get severe injuries.., let alone the fact that people are TRYing to hurt you. If cheerleading had a part where someone attempts to push them around maybe it would be remotely close to being as dangerous as hockey.. cheerleading doesn't have fights....nor getting hit into glass, nor getting hit by frozen rubber going at least 50mph LEAST.. So no... Cheerleading is not even remotely close to being as dangerous as hockey....
