I identify with this so much. I'm turning 50 this year. Oldest guy on the team by 10 years. Play with guys as young as 18. Having trouble keeping up - legs are gone. Eyesight is bad. Knees work half the time. Takes me days to recover and work the next day is tough. Injuries take forever to heal. Wife always asks me, " is this your last year?" Can my ego handle being not able to compete at a level i would like? It might be my last year. Thought I was ready to let it go last year. My last game was pretty emotional. Literally crying going out onto the ice. The boys knew I was considering hanging it up. I've played with these guys for the past 7 years. Seen them grow up and have families of their own. Hard to give up something you love. I love being at the rink.
Maybe once you hang ‘em up you could become your team’s coach, I know that’s what a guy I used to play with did. We loved still having him around even if he wasn’t playing since he was such a good locker room presence.
I thought I was the only one welling up over this clip. I played baseball (amateur hardball) until I was 48. Way past my ability to leg out a double. One day, our pitcher took a line drive off his shin. Broke it. He was 54 at the time. I felt so badly for him. In a show of...something...I fireman carried him by myself to his car so his wife could drive him to the hospital. About ten yards from his car I felt something give in my knee. Wound up being my last game, too. That "forever" is a hell of a word.
Nah... 50 is just a number... i just rolled it as well and do the same (am oldest by 10 yrs and play with guys as young as 18)... have lossed a couple steps but screw it "you ain't getting passed me prick" (moved back to defense a long time ago)... ha.

First one in. Last one out. Go until you can't go no more.
I could watch this 100 times and not get tired of it. So true and brings back so many memories (ah to be young and playing hockey again)
That’s hockey. If you know, you know.
Truly Canadian! 🇨🇦
