whats the difference between cage helmets and the visor ones? i know they look different but which is better?

This is no how-to. Why would you not explain proper sizing of equipment? Stupid video, you guys already have a vid about equipment needed for playing. Showing people proper sizing would be of great benefit.

dont go 4 big goals, little at a time, like go for being in the top 10 in ponts..then on from their..then try and get drafted..going straight for the NHL is hard..and your always going to think about “what if i dont make it?” so dont go big..a …and just cuz you dont have money doesnt mean you cant play..go to every open hockey you can..and im 11 and ive been goalie since i was 8..but been playing street hockey since 3 yrs of age..(goalie)

Get on the Ice it doesn’t matter if you are 30 or 18 you can play Ice Hockey. You need to find players at your ability and practice with them. As you progress forward with your skating skills and stick handling skills you move up in level of talent. Believe me you need to play the game it’s the greatest game on earth and once you start to play you can play until you are 70. I’m serious I grew up in Wisconsin now live in CA and many of my CA friends started playing in their 20′s

Well 7 is a good age to start, im 15, starting now is going to be really hard
May 16th, 2010 at 7:27 am
@random 7078 i started hockey at 7 and ive benn doing fine im 13 now and play in a A league in winter and AAA in spring. it is hard but u have to work hard

Remember
You can do anything if you want to

Turns out it would be better off if i didnt play.. i guess they prefer if you play from a younger age and work you’re way up.. There is no hockey team for my high school, they took the team away because guys were using it as a reason to fight, so i guess ill let it go, anyway.. thanks for all the replies.

I don’t play much
but I am Canadian and have know the game in almost every aspect
May 16th, 2010 at 9:31 am
@TheRandomGrabber Do you play?, if so, for how long?
May 16th, 2010 at 10:12 am
I understand your fear, but experience is something you gain from playing. Yes, people who have played since 5 will usually perform better than the average casual player
However if you try hard and skate and play hockey almost every day then you will be as good or better than the kids who have been playing since 6

Well i was just thinking about going for the C team just to see how it would go but people have told me its kind of something you have to do from like 5 and just work your way up.. i don’t know, just nervous.
May 16th, 2010 at 11:05 am
I don’t think it would be too hard to begin at a higher age
you should just practice like crazy before tryouts and maybe you’ll have a shot
May 16th, 2010 at 12:01 pm
@TheRandomGrabber Would it be hard to start ie hockey at a older age? im 15 and never had the guts to join a league but im pretty good.
Thanks.
