Hitting is very useful in real life situations. Being a single man in Chicago, you develop a lot of wandering eyes and being able to pick up on subtle hints and use charm and wit to win over your target it huge. Hitting really helps with this, as it unlike on the ice, increases your chances to score. If you have high hitting, you are able to score more often. Hitting does a few things, it gives you more swag, game, and also gives the ladies what they want. I assume you now realize that hitting in real life is hitting on a person so that you can bed them. This is an extremely important social skill and one that takes a lot of time investment. If your hitting is low, you will have a bad time, but if your hitting is high you will always have a good time. It is important to cultivate a high hitting score if you want to be successful. Additional attributes that can compliment your hitting ability are, strength (everyone likes a buff fella), accuracy (got to hit the mark), and of course scoring. With these combined you will always have the best chance to score, no matter the target. Best of luck out there.
