New youth hockey player....?

Hi, i'm 14 years old and i really want to start playing ice hockey. i can skate pretty well and i have played informal inline hockey before, but i don't know everything about the rules of ice hockey. i know basic stuff about the red/blue/red lines and offside rules and stuff, but thats about it. if i was to start playing on a house team for 14 year olds would i be way out of my league? i figured i would take a few stick handling/power skating classes first to get used to the ice, but would going right to a team after the classes be too big of a step? thanks.

you're always able to learn and just because you're a girl doesn't mean you still can't play with the pre pubescent boys. good luck and beware of the vampire jesus he gave you his blood and wants it back right now
Reply:Size isn't everything. If you're a quick enough skater, you can negate a lot of the size advantage that the guys will have on you. Also, you could try playing goalie.





The best thing you could do is probably sign up for a learn to play session at the rink. Most of these spend half the time on drills and half the time scrimmaging so that you can put what you learned in the drills into practice right away, and last anywhere from a few sessions to a month or more.
