The purpose of this study is to investigate perceived stress among boys who play ice hockeyat two different levels at the same age, and to get a picture of what causes and affects stress inthem. To be able to analyze this, we need to find out how much pressure the individuals getfrom themselves, the coaches and parents and if there are differences between different levels(elite level versus division 1). It will also be investigated whether there is a connectionbetween stress factors. According to the results of the survey, it can be seen that differences instress are largely independent of the level of hockey or school. Those who play at the higherlevel stress more in school than those who play at the lower level, while players in the lowerlevel stress more in hockey. How much the individual invests in hockey or how highly hevalues school does not affect stress.
