Too OLD for hockey?!?!?

How old were you when you started playing hockey? If you started at an older age how did you get started? Let's help others who want to start playing!

Coach Jeremy - The Hockey Movement iam playing for 5 years now and iam 13 years old

[@retrorecall]

I just started in November and I'm 30, totally loving it even though I suck. I could barely skate and now i can crossover and go backwards, practice everyday! These videos really helped me a lot, thanks Jeremy! Everyone at the local rinks are good and can do laps around me but when I get the puck everyone respectfully slows down haha. I really respect the good sportsmanship by everyone playing this sport, I've yet to met a single person out there that was an a-hole.

[@SCtbf4]

Started playing when I was about 22 years old. I always knew how to skate but not good. My son at the time was 4yo and already wanted to become a "Boston Bruin" so we grabbed some gear, signed him up and in the process I grabbed a new pair of skates. I helped coach him in his learn to skate classes which has translated into me becoming an asst coach for his first in-house hockey teach when he was 6-7yo. Now he is 10yo a second year squirt and it will be my second consecutive year as a head coach for hockey and my 2nd year of also playing organized hockey. It's pretty cool that I have grown with my oldest son in this sport we both love and literally just last night I told him my biggest regret is that I didn't play when I was his age. But Now I get to coach him and his younger brother who will be playing on his first team next season and we will probably have to rent a cot at the rink cause we'll be down there 5 out of 7 days a week come September lol. Your never to old to play and as your video highlights, these "old" guys still wheel that puck around and sometimes can do it better than high school and college players lol.

[@mechwd-gaming]

I am 35 and have never stepped on the ice in full gear. That will change when in 2 weeks since I have signed up for an Adult beginner skills clinic. Super excited to finally live my dream of being on the ice. It will be hard, and I will stink at it, but I will improve and will love every stinking minute of it.

[@justinwise6781]

I grew up in NW Ohio, always loved watching the NHL and going to Fort Wayne Komets games when they were in the IHL. I was always big on football, and I was pretty good, but there was something about hockey that always left me with an itch. I played pond hockey as much as I could barring it was cold enough. I finally broke down a few years ago and bought the gear to play. I went to a few drop in sessions and realized I needed to get better quick. So now at 35 years old, I go to as many stick and puck sessions as I can. I've got 3 daughters, my 4 year old is dead set on playing after we went through skating lessons. I bought her all her equipment as a part of her Christmas gift she'll be getting next week. I'm excited as hell to be taking her to some stick and puck time!!! What a great sport, and I can only hope that the exposure of this tremendous sport becomes widespread in the midwest. IMO it starts with High School leagues. You have to get the kids into it. I really wish the NHL would focus on expanding in the midwest to really reel in more prospects in America. Milwaukee and Indianapolis would support an NHL franchise all day. Doing this would be huge for drawing more young talent into the sport.

[@keithb67]

I picked up the game at 45 when a guy from work got a group together to give it a try. Bought some used equipment at our local second-hand store and since I had the equipment I figured why not stick with it. Started playing regular pickup games and everyone was always very supportive and patient. Just finished my third season of 35+ league and have no plans of stopping. I have skied all my life but had never skated much so learning to skate was the first challenge. I participated in adult clinics at local rinks which helped a lot. And I got a lot of tips from people I played with. And of course the internet is an exhaustive resource. The first video of yours that I watched was the one on how to tape your stick. Now that I am playing hockey I can't imagine not playing hockey. For those that decide to start the key things are to be persistent and be patient, and play regularly. Getting into a league it a great way to accomplish this, and to meet lots of people. What you mentioned about camaraderie is certainly true. I have formed some good friendships because of hockey. Also, invest in a decent pair of skates. Not top of the line, but not bottom either. For those looking to get started, one way would be to check with your local rink to find out about pickup games, leagues, and any clinics they may have. Thanks Jeremy for the great videos. Hope to play with you someday if I get up your way.

I started playing about once a week two years ago, and I'm about to turn 31. I could skate a little bit, but never played, and didn't have much equipment. I play stick-and-puck, and it's a blast. Everyone is really nice, and they don't push you to play any harder than you want. I would recommend the game to everyone. It's a great workout, and it's a lot of fun! I'll probably join a league sooner or later, as I'm getting better and better.

awesome video dude! this is the truth right here. I have so many friends that i ask to come play pond hockey or on my backyard rink and the answer is always i dont know how...WELL nows the time to learn!

Turning 40 this year and will be joining my first hockey team in about 3 weeks. Never had skated before last year, took some basic lessons... that evolved into a hockey class where I got to wear the gear for the first time... and now getting ready to join my first Adult League at the beginner level with a team of guys who are all playing for the first time. Amazing how challenging and fun this sport is - like many others have said, it's a great sport that is filled with a lot of great people. Goal is to continue to learn my edges and eventually even get to a place where I can skate backwards with some level of competence. Coach Jeremy - keep the content coming... it's a great inspiration to so many people, including myself.

The old guys will sit back and watch the youngsters do all the hard work, then casually skate in the perfect position to tap in a rebound for the goal. Gotta love it!!

Great video Jeremy. Really enjoyed hearing the witty humor of the older guys in the locker room. You could make a video series just interviewing them. Awesome and inspiring.

Hi Coach Jeremy - I was 51 when I first started playing hockey and I am 56 now. I love hockey and I have watched a lot of your videos to teach me hockey over the years. I love this video as these guys sound like me when they talk about this magnificent sport. With the rinks closed during the pandemic I am practicing roller hockey with my wife in the parking lot of the train station next to our house. I am so excited to get back on the ice and experience exactly what you mentioned in the video - the camaraderie of the guys you play with. ICE HOCKEY CHANGED MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER! 🏒🥅!

Thanks for this Jeremy, couldn't have come at a better time. Turning 30 next year and have been thinking about learning how to skate and getting into Hockey a lot as of late - and this has pretty much given me the push to go for it. The only downside is I'm in the UK and there's not as much opportunity to learn, though I live in a pretty good Hockey city so I'll make it work. Huge thanks again, huge fan and carry on with the great work!

I LOVED this video!! I am going to be 56 in a few weeks, and I always say I wish I'd started playing before I was 38. I play on a women's team here in Syracuse, NY with amazing women. We also have the Grey Wolves, who taught me how to play18 yrs ago. Thx, Jeremy, I watch your videos all the time, and you help me to continually improve. (OK, I am also an OB nurse, and sometimes I watch just to see Mason)!

Great video! I don't have very many regrets in life but not starting hockey earlier is definitely one on them

[@EmpireWorldwideTrade]

whenever I get a day off from work, I go play weekday afternoon hockey with a bunch of old gentlemen same age as these guys. older folks who play hockey is always very welcoming, encouraging and nice!
