I was a hockey coach in Bobcaygeon Ontario coaching 13 yr. olds that had started about 6 or 7. A boy from England moved here who had never skated before. He tried out for the team and the first year was a little difficult, but by the second year he was pretty good. He worked hard, and never missed practises and skated whenever he could. Good Luck, you can do it.

I started playing at 32, so you're probably fine.
:D
If you mean could you still go pro... anything's possible. But the thing about hockey is that it's its own reward.
Even if you never make college or semi-pro or pro hockey, you will have learned to play the greatest sport in the world.
And you'll have that for the rest of your life.

Yes, start with skating, you can't play if you can't skate. Get as much ice time as possible and practice those edges. Carry your stick around the house, it will strengthen your wrists and learn stick control. You can get books and videos at the library to learn the game and drills for practicing on your own. Good luck and see you on the ice.

yes allot of top players didn't start playing till they were 10 to 13 years old you can play any time you want its the best game on earth, i live in Canada and i cant wait till the pond freezes or the park rinks open so i can go play, i play in a league and outside all the time. get a stick and a net and your best friend in nets and slap that puck at him, lol just kidding just remember always have fun.

I'm trying to cross over from roller to ice, and I'm almost 25. It can be done if you are willing to work at it.
