i’m a 20 year old female and fell in love with hockey at a young age. sad things is, i never got to actually play(just watch) but i’ve ALWAYS wanted to. It’s been a dream of mine to play for as long as i can remember and it would be a shame if i never get to try it. of course starting at 20 isn’t ideal(maybe), but i’d like to believe that anyone can start a sport at any age. I don’t even care if it’s competitive or just for fun, i just want the chance to try it. The thing is, i’m having trouble finding a beginners adult hockey program near me(i don’t have any experience). i’ve skated a few times before and even took a couple of lessons- i absolutely loved it. i know this was posted a year ago, but i hope you can recommend something for me.
It’s awesome that you are get into the sport and going for it. It’s never to late to start! The good thing about hockey is that leagues are coed and everyone respects that. The sucky part about it is that you’re limited to what leagues rinks have around you. I would call your local rinks and ask what they have for beginners even if it is put you into a higher league. For example my ice league is intermediate but we have a guy on our team that is his first time playing and it’s awesome. Most intermediate leagues have players at all skill levels. If you need more help DM me on Instagram and it will be easier for me to respond to messages
I’m a 24 year old girl and I’ve worked at a rink for 4 years and never really skated. today I bought my first hockey skates (previously owned figure skates) and skated around for like 20 minutes and loved it. I’ll be doing clinics before and after work to pick up the basics not sure if I’ll ever play on a team but I just missed doing a sport and it just so happened hockey is the most convenient because I work at a rink. Never too late to do something you love.
I started when I was 32! I do think it is never too late - so good for you! I would recommend calling your local rink, they can usually tell you the best beginner programs near you. You might realize there are plenty of people just like you with no experience. And if there are not - usually women's leagues are very welcoming of people of all skill levels, and they can help you get better.
Everything you’ve said is 100% true. I started playing at 26, and hockey completely changed my life for the better. Now at 52, I don’t play any more due to physical issues, but my daughter plays semi-pro hockey and I gave up financial consulting to work in a hockey pro shop. Even at my best, I was never very good at playing. But it was all about having fun and being with the team.
Im 37 and just got into hockey this year. I found a local roller league in town and I just got a pair of skates. These videos are very helpful and I'm hoping to progress enough to finally join the league. You got a new subscriber, dude. Thanks for all the tips
Good luck! I played hockey and streethockey growing up. Stop around 14. Always wanted to play hockey again. Now 36 and just did my first beer level round of 3 games just yesterday. Didnt have options where I lived before. Now I’m all in. :)
💯 Starting playing again after almost 30 yrs and it’s the best decision I made. Completely amped after every game. With every game I am getting more comfortable and more situated to my teammates.
@@HockeyAdventures i wanna start play hockey agian it was 2 years ago but I am scared cause I am 15 and probably every one will be much better then me and make fun of me.
I really needed the ''please dont quit, you will get better.'' My confidence and motivation for hockey has been so low lately, I've noticed a plateau in my progress and I really get in my head about it and doubt my ability. I'm only 3/4 months in, I can't stop with my left foot but can with my right, I can crossover one side but not the other and I've developed bad habits already. Regardless, thanks for the video
What you are experiencing is completely normal. Every hockey player goes through this at some point. That’s including myself. You will have stretches where you get better then plateau. Then get better again and plateau again. It’s just how it works
I’m 26 years old and I just played my first game of hockey ever shinny but I never realized how much you need to progress but I’m gonna keep skating and shooting I know one day I’ll get better haha
Great video! Just recently bought a stick and some roller blades and have been practicing skating and shooting. Definitely a steep learning curve but I enjoy it every time! Hopefully once things open up I can join a beginner league and make some fellow roller hockey friends. Keep up the great work, love the videos
I’m so glad to hear you are enjoying playing. Comments like these are why I make theses videos. Hopefully soon rinks will open again. Trust me you will make some new friends
I just started hockey bro and these guys on my team are so supportive and nothing but nice bro it’s a great community even though I’m completely terrible they make me feel like I’m doing something for my team love this sport man.
You are never too old to start something you want to do. I just started a learn to play ice hockey program and am having a great time. Would I be better if I had started as a kid vs my early 40s? Sure. But my class is filled with others in the same boat.
Finally getting into playing hockey after watching since I was little. 18 now and skating for my entire life. I've been finding it super frustrating I can't keep up the stick and puck with my skating but every time I get something right it feels so good :)
I'm 16 and I've never really played hockey before. I have a smaller scale net and a stick, also some goalie gear some hero was willing to give to me for free, but I haven't played. I live in a city that is so far away from any kind of roller/ice rink and I feel like that's the discouraging part for me. I don't have a car so I can't drive anywhere to play. I don't even have skates. I'm trying to convince my school to establish a team, but I'm going into my senior year and it'll most likely be too late 😔
I’m happy to be starting hockey going into my 21st year of life. I am autistic and hockey has so many benefits for someone who is neurodiverse. Plus it’ll give me a great social circle and gives me a great opportunity to work on my social and communication skills
I am a 23 year old female and have loved hockey ever since I was a kid and unfortunately never got to play in a league (just for fun mostly with friends- back yard and street hockey ) . I know how to skate pretty well and practiced a ton roller blading . There wasn’t a ton of leagues for girls when I was growing up in my city anyway. I think I’m going to try to join an instructional hockey league that I found where I live. I wanna meet more people who play/ and make friends who enjoy the sport too
What an awesome sport. I’m a figure skater and your guys’ skills are so impressive. I always see you guys just scrimmaging and texting at the same time 😂 like what
No your not to old to start. It’s never to late to start playing hockey. First thing is to get to your local rink and ask the employees about what leagues are available for you as a beginner and what equipment you need. They will help you out and point you in the right direction. Once you start spent some time to watch pros and learn the rules of the game. When it comes to skills skating is by far the most important. Then stick handling, passing, shooting. Hockey is different then any other sport and it take time to get your skills up. Just stick with it
May I’m 57 just started !!!!! Started rollerblading 10 weeks ago after 5 weeks was advanced No Joke Jesus got me into it all things to all men !!! Xxxx
If you're an adult and stopped growing, then the equipment tends to be a one-time purchase for a decade's worth of usage. it gets crazy pricy if you got a kid that hits puberty age.
Think of the $ you spend on hockey as your deductible for mental health! A bad day of hockey is always better than a good day at work. Never forget that
Unless your a pro league fights are not allowed. Do they do still happen at times? Yes, but not often. I’ve played for 13 years and only got into 2 fights. Trust me dude you will be good
Never played hockey. Have a pretty weird schedule and wasn't even able to sign up for a class. I can skate though. So here I am, a complete newbie playing in local league at the age of 40. Now, all I can think about is hockey, hockey, hockey. I lived for 40 years not even considered myself as a hockey player, and I found my true passion and love. Can't wait for my next game tomorrow!!!
I'm 13 and ive always wanted to play roller hockey scince the end of the stanley cup. I now have a chance to play in a team and hope fully it will be soda not beer :)
Money isnt the problem. Problem is that where im from (slovenia - europe), you cant really join adult beginner leaguea. You have to be born into skates😢😢😢😢.
Im a teen and I wasn't to sure about joining Hockey like I really wanted to I was scared because I had so many questions but after watching this im definitely gonna join 😁
I feel like it’s too late to start hockey at age 12 female. If I start now do I have a chance to play professionally when I’m older? And is it too late to start?
As a person who love hockey but lives in tropical area it's impossible to play hockey here. I'm 21 but I hope I can try hockey hopefully soon, but for now my goal is to just hopefully find some ice somehow and learn to skate lol
I’m 14 and in 8th grade and is it to late to start and how do I start because the school year is almost over and I think it’ll be hard to start I’m highschool are there camps to do or soemthing
Hey, you are definitely not to old to start. I started when I was 13 so your good. What you should do is find your local hockey rink, go down there and talk to the employees. They will set you in the right direction. Ask them about what league you could play in, what equipment you need and if the have any beginner programs. Get out there and have fun
I'm 17yrs old... And I want to do hockey... I start summer training tomorrow but I'm scared because I know I'm not strong/fit enough yet... Its my first time... Ahhh😅
I’m 11 and all my friends play hockey and I can skate a little how long do you think it could be before I could get any good at ice hockey and should I play hockey
Just start now. Your not going to be as good as everyone one else at first but the sooner you start the sooner you will get through the beginner stage. Stick at it and you will be good at the sport. The more you play the better you get
Full Send Hockey should I wait until coronavirus is done and the vaccine is everywhere because I already have a hockey stick so do you think it’s a good idea to practice inside until corona is over and I can start playing ice hockey
Defiantly be safe. Do what you feel is right. Corvid sucks and all the rinks around me are still shut down. If you can practice from home that's a plus just make sure you don't mess up your stick. Only use it on supper smooth surfaces or it will crack the blade. I recommend getting a hockey wrap around if your going to play outside
Overall Hockey is very welcoming to newcomers. If you want to try it you should. It’s better to try something new then just wish you were doing it. Maybe you will love it maybe not and that’s ok
These videos are super helpful and I love the fact that you guys are local to me. I’ve loved hockey my whole life, but we never had the opportunity to play any sports growing up because of money. But now that I’m almost done with college and I have some money now I started playing street hockey with a friend. I just picked up some inline skates and I’m learning how to skate. These videos are super helpful and I’m looking forward to some day finding you at a local rink!
That’s awesome! I’m stoked to hear you have started and loving it. I recommend joining the east bay inline hockey group and facebook. Can get a lot of good info from it from around the bay. They have outdoor games every Saturday at the Pleasanton out door rink
@@HockeyAdventures I'm coming back around to this video, at this point I've been skating for 2 years now and I've been playing beer league at sharks ice for about a year and a half now. It's been a lot of fun and I've improved so much. I really enjoy revisiting these old videos and seeing my old comments.
Recently I’ve been wanting to get into skating and hockey. I loved watching my local whl hockey team and started to think i wanted to play it. But I doubt I can now, I’m 16, and don’t think there are any female hockey teams around. But, I’ll keep thinking about playing.
Currently 16 year old and I'm a huge hockey guy, I live going to the odr and playing with my buddies (who actually play hockey) and I want to be able to play with them but I feel like its too late for me because everyone else ha splayed for almost 13 years already and it's a lot to learn, I can skate alright and my stick handling isn't the greatest but It's a really tough decision
I’m 25 and I’ve always wanted to play hockey. I dabbled with it when I was younger for a year but never got serious about it. The only thing now is justifying to my wife that I can play hockey and the expenses associated with it. Glad to see that it’s not too late to start!
ouch #2 hurts. It took me 3 years to even get into my mens league group chat, and played with the same guys for 5-6 years and they go out for drinks every game and I've never got invited once
I have the choice to play with either kids my age that have been playing forever, or 40 year olds. I am a strong skater and know the rules of the game , should I start with kids my age or with adults ?
How old is too old to start? Lol I'm 23, weigh like 230. Haven't touched Rollerblades since I was 17. Say even after the fact. If I'm starting to get better. Where would you find these games to play in?
Never to late to start. My dad started in his 40s. Your best bet is to do a google search of local hockey rink and the nearest one should pop up. Websites for rinks aren’t always the best so I recommend going to the rink or calling to get info about the league. The sucky part about hockey is rinks aren’t alway close so it could be an hour drive for a game. If you have any questions you can DM me on Instagram and I can help you more
@@HockeyAdventures Thank you! I found a rink and a 3 tier league system they do. They do college games etc there and can join their league based on skill. I have to get good at skating first though. Just don't know how the heck I'm gonna force myself to really do the harder stuff like stopping and all that
I am 14 and have been watching my local team since I was 2 weeks old. I’ve been begging my parents to let me play since I was 3, but money was an issue. So, I grew up watching and learning the gist of the sport. Finally, after 11 years of waiting, I started started going to a girls clinic about two weeks ago. I love the sport and I love it even more now that I am learning how to play it.
Idk starting MTB is ridiculous but once I got my bike I haven’t spent to much more. Granted she does need a little work. But for hockey the payments just never stop. I think we can agree they are both expensive
Can’t wait to sign up today. Never ever played, and had been contemplating whether I should make the leap. I’m working across the street from the rink so it’s a sign.
Trust me both of these don’t matter. I know plenty of people that started well older then you and I know people that play who are almost 300 pounds. You can do it
16 and just starting roller hockey I will admit it’s pretty difficult but my local in-line rink does public pick up games every Friday it’s pretty fun some of the guys are super chill hope I progress and get better
Yeah that is the biggest down fall of hockey. If your really want to get some equipment look for used equipment. You should be able to pick up good items for cheep
I am just starting trying to skate not even play the game yet but it has really helped with my mental health. Just gives me something to focus on, I love the feeling of being on the ice and troubles melting away. I used to roller skate and there are some similarities but the ice makes a huge difference and makes it so much more enjoyable for me. Everyone at my local rink has been very encouraging too, they can tell I'm new and are always giving me tips. My only regret is I wish I started sooner.
@@HockeyAdventures ive watched all ur videos an kept watching them for more pointers, im excited an been practicing every say i really do appreciate what u do!!! its going to be in west covina ca. hockey rink its also on youtube im 33 yrs old being sore its been awhile lol thank u keep in touch!
@@HockeyAdventures Played our first game today brotha 4-2 we lost i played forward i was so happy an d grateful for everything u showed me i still need to work on my stops but im good knees killing but next sunday again im in!!!
im 14 i am a Quarterback in football im above average skater ive been skating roller blades and ice for 4 years i almost started playing in 5th grade im looking for another sport do you think i could start i love playing contact sports
You should still join. It’s actually pretty common for coed hockey. Almost all in-house leagues are. I don’t think I have played in a league where girls weren’t playing along with the guys. Everyone supper cool about it. If someone is not they will get put in their place real fast
First off that’s when I started and I barely knew how to skate. Also in life there are great things just on the other side of that fear your feeling. Sometimes you just have to lean into it and go for it. At first it will feel awkward and weird but you will quickly get the hang of it and feel more comfortable. Just go for it and have fun
Ive been inspired to play hockey. I already know how to skate. I have recently asked my mom if i could start to play but she said no, because it was too rough. im not sure what to do and i know this video is almost 2 years old but id really appreciate if you had any tips on what to do.
Well hockey is a rough sport but not quite what most people imaging. Fighting isn't allowed and in most leagues neither is checking (unless your playing travel hockey). You also wear a lot of equipment to keep yourself safe. Lastly you do wear a cage attached to your helmet so you won't louse any teeth. This is pretty much all I can think of to try to convince her. Maybe even try and get her to talk to the employees at the rink who can give a accurate description of how leagues are at their rink. Best of luck bud

I’m 14 and in 8th grade and is it to late to start and how do I start because the school year is almost over and I think it’ll be hard to start I’m highschool are there camps to do or soemthing
Hey, you are definitely not to old to start. I started when I was 13 so your good. What you should do is find your local hockey rink, go down there and talk to the employees. They will set you in the right direction. Ask them about what league you could play in, what equipment you need and if the have any beginner programs. Get out there and have fun
I'm 17yrs old... And I want to do hockey... I start summer training tomorrow but I'm scared because I know I'm not strong/fit enough yet... Its my first time... Ahhh😅
Glad to hear your going to start!! Don’t worry about it dude. Just go out and have a good time. The more you play the better and stronger you will get
I am 17 and i want to start a hockey career but isin’t it to late ?
It’s never to late. A lot of people I play with didn’t start until they were grown adults
Hello! Just one more question: if I’m a size 6.5 in regular shoes. What size skates should I get? Thanks
Get a 5.5 size skate. Always go 1 size down on hockey skates. Some times 1.5, but your young so if 5.5 is a little big you can grow into them
I’m 11 and I might start hockey. I can skate a little but I’ve never held a stick before should I try it?
Absolutely!! It’s so much fun and life changing. Using a hockey stick is going to feel weird at first but keep at it and it will feel normal
@@HockeyAdventures Thank You!
I’m 11 and all my friends play hockey and I can skate a little how long do you think it could be before I could get any good at ice hockey and should I play hockey
Just start now. Your not going to be as good as everyone one else at first but the sooner you start the sooner you will get through the beginner stage. Stick at it and you will be good at the sport. The more you play the better you get
Full Send Hockey should I wait until coronavirus is done and the vaccine is everywhere because I already have a hockey stick so do you think it’s a good idea to practice inside until corona is over and I can start playing ice hockey
Defiantly be safe. Do what you feel is right. Corvid sucks and all the rinks around me are still shut down. If you can practice from home that's a plus just make sure you don't mess up your stick. Only use it on supper smooth surfaces or it will crack the blade. I recommend getting a hockey wrap around if your going to play outside
Im 15 and i really want to play hockey man... im really scared of toxitity..
Overall Hockey is very welcoming to newcomers. If you want to try it you should. It’s better to try something new then just wish you were doing it. Maybe you will love it maybe not and that’s ok
Do you think I could join a team being a bad skater( I’m 11)
Yes absolutely! Just keep partaking your skating
These videos are super helpful and I love the fact that you guys are local to me. I’ve loved hockey my whole life, but we never had the opportunity to play any sports growing up because of money. But now that I’m almost done with college and I have some money now I started playing street hockey with a friend. I just picked up some inline skates and I’m learning how to skate. These videos are super helpful and I’m looking forward to some day finding you at a local rink!
That’s awesome! I’m stoked to hear you have started and loving it. I recommend joining the east bay inline hockey group and facebook. Can get a lot of good info from it from around the bay. They have outdoor games every Saturday at the Pleasanton out door rink
@@HockeyAdventures I'm coming back around to this video, at this point I've been skating for 2 years now and I've been playing beer league at sharks ice for about a year and a half now. It's been a lot of fun and I've improved so much. I really enjoy revisiting these old videos and seeing my old comments.
I've been playing hockey for 6 yrs
Recently I’ve been wanting to get into skating and hockey. I loved watching my local whl hockey team and started to think i wanted to play it. But I doubt I can now, I’m 16, and don’t think there are any female hockey teams around. But, I’ll keep thinking about playing.
Currently 16 year old and I'm a huge hockey guy, I live going to the odr and playing with my buddies (who actually play hockey) and I want to be able to play with them but I feel like its too late for me because everyone else ha splayed for almost 13 years already and it's a lot to learn, I can skate alright and my stick handling isn't the greatest but It's a really tough decision
I started playing like 5 months ago from learning to skate to learning to play and my first game is in like a month and I am pretty nervous
That’s awesome!! Stoked to hear it. Being nervous is normal but once you are on the rink it will go away and you will have a great time
@Hockey Adventures ok thanks
@@HockeyAdventures my first season just ended and we won the championship thank you so much, I made great friends, can’t wait till next season.
I’m 25 and I’ve always wanted to play hockey. I dabbled with it when I was younger for a year but never got serious about it. The only thing now is justifying to my wife that I can play hockey and the expenses associated with it. Glad to see that it’s not too late to start!
ouch #2 hurts. It took me 3 years to even get into my mens league group chat, and played with the same guys for 5-6 years and they go out for drinks every game and I've never got invited once
I have the choice to play with either kids my age that have been playing forever, or 40 year olds. I am a strong skater and know the rules of the game , should I start with kids my age or with adults ?
Do you think it’s too late to start I’m 11
Not at all! I started when I was 13
How old is too old to start? Lol I'm 23, weigh like 230. Haven't touched Rollerblades since I was 17. Say even after the fact. If I'm starting to get better. Where would you find these games to play in?
Never to late to start. My dad started in his 40s. Your best bet is to do a google search of local hockey rink and the nearest one should pop up. Websites for rinks aren’t always the best so I recommend going to the rink or calling to get info about the league. The sucky part about hockey is rinks aren’t alway close so it could be an hour drive for a game. If you have any questions you can DM me on Instagram and I can help you more
@@HockeyAdventures Thank you! I found a rink and a 3 tier league system they do. They do college games etc there and can join their league based on skill. I have to get good at skating first though. Just don't know how the heck I'm gonna force myself to really do the harder stuff like stopping and all that
All it takes is practice and you will get the hang of it
I am 14 and have been watching my local team since I was 2 weeks old. I’ve been begging my parents to let me play since I was 3, but money was an issue. So, I grew up watching and learning the gist of the sport. Finally, after 11 years of waiting, I started started going to a girls clinic about two weeks ago. I love the sport and I love it even more now that I am learning how to play it.
the best thing would be Hockey wings and beer.
Facts!!
is it too late to start at 13 i would love an honest answer i can already do basic stuff
That’s the age I started and not knowing how to do anything. So it’s not to late
@@HockeyAdventures great thanks!
I’ve always wanted to play hockey when I was younger and still now. Thinking learning how to ice skate
A lot cheaper than mountain biking, lol
Idk starting MTB is ridiculous but once I got my bike I haven’t spent to much more. Granted she does need a little work. But for hockey the payments just never stop. I think we can agree they are both expensive
Those prizes wont stop me from making myself and my parents proud. Ill give it my all and you bet I wont quit :)
Can’t wait to sign up today. Never ever played, and had been contemplating whether I should make the leap. I’m working across the street from the rink so it’s a sign.
That’s awesome to hear!! It’s awesome sport. You going to love it
i would love to get into hockey but im overweight and almost 30 already >.>
Trust me both of these don’t matter. I know plenty of people that started well older then you and I know people that play who are almost 300 pounds. You can do it
I’m 15 sophmore been playing pickup and considering playing for my highschool but all those guys have been playing for years is it worth it?
It’s absolutely worth it!! The beautiful thing about hockey is you can play for the rest of your life so the sooner you start the better
16 and just starting roller hockey I will admit it’s pretty difficult but my local in-line rink does public pick up games every Friday it’s pretty fun some of the guys are super chill hope I progress and get better
That’s awesome to hear. Just keep at it you will get better
Way to illustrate drinking and depression, quality talk video self help seminar 😆
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
Wait. I wanna learn hockey and like even join a team but I’m 19 like is that too late to start? I know how to skate tho 😭
It’s definitely not to late for you to start. Besides if you already know how to skate you have an advantage over other beginners
I will always love the game of ice hockey but I’ve never played it using real equipments because as you mentioned: hockey is a hella expensive sport
Yeah that is the biggest down fall of hockey. If your really want to get some equipment look for used equipment. You should be able to pick up good items for cheep
I am just starting trying to skate not even play the game yet but it has really helped with my mental health. Just gives me something to focus on, I love the feeling of being on the ice and troubles melting away. I used to roller skate and there are some similarities but the ice makes a huge difference and makes it so much more enjoyable for me. Everyone at my local rink has been very encouraging too, they can tell I'm new and are always giving me tips. My only regret is I wish I started sooner.
Welcome to family. There really is something just therapeutic about skating. Glad to hear you’re enjoying it.
im a girl and my team is both genders....so lets just hope i dont fuck it up
You got this!!
im thinking of joining a hockey team use to play street hockey in the streets now ive seeing rinks an i wanna join
You should. Go to the rink and talk to the employees. They will help you out
@@HockeyAdventures Just bought my gear today the season starts next week on Jan. 30 im really nervous hope all goes good thanks for the videos !!!!
You got this dude! You’re going to have a great time. Congrats on starting 🎉
@@HockeyAdventures ive watched all ur videos an kept watching them for more pointers, im excited an been practicing every say i really do appreciate what u do!!! its going to be in west covina ca. hockey rink its also on youtube im 33 yrs old being sore its been awhile lol thank u keep in touch!
@@HockeyAdventures Played our first game today brotha 4-2 we lost i played forward i was so happy an d grateful for everything u showed me i still need to work on my stops but im good knees killing but next sunday again im in!!!
Do you think that it is still possible for me to learn how to play Ice hockey when I am twelve I play dek hockey but I really want to play ice
Absolutely!! I started roller when I was 13 and ice at 24. Get out and sign up for a league
im 14 i am a Quarterback in football im above average skater ive been skating roller blades and ice for 4 years i almost started playing in 5th grade im looking for another sport do you think i could start i love playing contact sports
Oh absolutely!! Hockey is such a fun sport. Give it a shot I’m sure you will love it
@@HockeyAdventures alright thanks man
Awesome video! I''m starting an adult beginner program soon and can't wait to start and eventually join a team :)
Congrats!! Love to hear this. Enjoy your time out there
@@HockeyAdventures Thank you very much!
Why not hockey,beer and wings at the same time!! Now that's the greatest sport thing ever
Sounds like a recipe to puke. With that being said I do get wings and beer before hockey a lot 😂
lol
I really want to learn how to play hockey but I'm terrified cuz there is no girl team in my district and I'd probably be the only girl on the ice
You should still join. It’s actually pretty common for coed hockey. Almost all in-house leagues are. I don’t think I have played in a league where girls weren’t playing along with the guys. Everyone supper cool about it. If someone is not they will get put in their place real fast
Do one need to be tall to practice hockey? I'm only 5'8
Not at all I’m only 5’6 so you’re good
I'm very worried cause my first hockey season is soon and I'm not that fit and can't stop 🙃
Don’t worry no one can stop when they start. Also just stick with it and you will get to know your teammates and make friends
@@HockeyAdventures thanks!
I am 13 years old is that too late to lay hockey or not and also I don’t think my mom or dad would let me play
You’re definitely not to old. I start at your age. You got to do a good job convincing your parents. Good luck bud!!
@@HockeyAdventures thanks I’ll try it’s just expensive
I went to my first game (to watch) yesterday. I want to play so badly. I really hope I get to try.
That’s awesome to hear! I recommend finding your local rink and getting info through them on how to sign up
@@HockeyAdventures thank you! you video has definitely encouraged me.
If you live in an NHL, AHL, or NCAA city, see if they have free-hockey days.
Stupid bun
You’re right! I’m going to quit hockey and TH-cam because of it 😞
I’m going in to 8th grade and I want to play hockey but I’m scared
First off that’s when I started and I barely knew how to skate. Also in life there are great things just on the other side of that fear your feeling. Sometimes you just have to lean into it and go for it. At first it will feel awkward and weird but you will quickly get the hang of it and feel more comfortable. Just go for it and have fun
Thank you.
No problem
Really excited to try this sport out
You will love it
@@HockeyAdventures what stick should I get ? And skates
I personally like the company’s CCM and Bauer. Besides that get what you can afford. Also for roller I love mission skates
Ive been inspired to play hockey. I already know how to skate. I have recently asked my mom if i could start to play but she said no, because it was too rough. im not sure what to do and i know this video is almost 2 years old but id really appreciate if you had any tips on what to do.
Well hockey is a rough sport but not quite what most people imaging. Fighting isn't allowed and in most leagues neither is checking (unless your playing travel hockey). You also wear a lot of equipment to keep yourself safe. Lastly you do wear a cage attached to your helmet so you won't louse any teeth. This is pretty much all I can think of to try to convince her. Maybe even try and get her to talk to the employees at the rink who can give a accurate description of how leagues are at their rink. Best of luck bud
But I don’t drink 😅...
That’s not a problem. Just understand your going to be spending a lot of time with drunk hockey players
