Is 15 too late to start hockey?

if your wanting to play hockey to impress people, your wanting to play for the wrong reasons. If you are interested in playing, sign up, and try it out, you will never know if you will be good at it until you try..

There is three things that it depends on:

1. Have you skated before? If you have no experience skating, then chances are you will have to focus on that first of all. You will not be able to focus on stickhandling and shooting if you first need to learn to skate.

2. Who are you trying to impress? Some areas are more in tune to hockey than others. Like, Quebec as opposed to Arizona. And don't expect to be impressive at a high level like AA or AAA.

3. Is your heart in it? A hockey player must be passionate about learning the game - not just taking slap shots and deking, but learning about power plays, penalty-kills, breakouts, positioning, anticipation, etc.

There are so many important aspects to being a good, well rounded hockey player, but i'm sure that your effort will really shine through!!

I know it's rare to find a female hockey player that knows what she's talking about, but trust me please, and give me a chance! :D

I started aging when I was 17. It's never too late. I would reccomend you go to open skates as much as possible. Bring a friend who knows how to skate preferably one who plays hockey. He can show you the ropes and technique needed to skate well. Then I would try to find a begginers clinic where they teach you how to play the game properly. Had it not been for the classes I took I would not be nearly as good on the ice as I am now. If your local rink doesn't do any of those them you'll need a buddy to show you how to play

yes it's very possible i just got interested in hockey too and just started this year and i am amazing a little sketchy at first with skating (getting use to the equipment) but after that one day i owned and im wrecking everyone i see. it's a great Sport and i hope i will be playing it for a very long time to sum it up yes just don't give up and maybe take a few ice skating lessons for hockey (if its ice hockey were talking about)

It's never too late!

Kids who started playing at a very young age will probably have an advantage over you ... but don't let that stop you from playing!

If you like the game and are interested in playing it, go for it!

I've known people who started playing when they were older than you -- sometimes even in their 20s. They were still pretty decent players and, most important of all, they enjoyed playing the game.

Its never too late to start playing hockey. Theres been some great players that werent drafted until their mid 20's. Its a great sport, so whether you go pro or just get together with friends, its worth it!

well im 16 playing junior A hockey, ive been playing since i was like 4, but if you really want it bad you got to put your whole heart into it, read books stickhandle with a tennis ball and a stick, watch how to skate videos online, a guy on my team started playing at 14, hes 18 now and he is doing just fine, but you have to, have to, have to put forth your best effort because hockey is not something you can just pick up. I wish you luck!!!

Of course you could. All you have to do is practice practice practice skating and puck control. Hockey is a great sport and with a little grive, you can definately be a respectable player.

I strongly suggest you learn to skate first, then look into a learn-to-play program at a local rink. Whether if it's for ice or roller doesn't really matter, as long as you're having fun eh. Ice is more fun but typically more expencive. Good luck!

who are you trying to impress your boyfriend.
