of course!!! My dad is 38 and he just started hockey and plays for an adult team and he is pretty good!!! You can do hockey at any age really, I go iceskating all the time and see the adult hockey team practicing while I'm taking my lessons. you should go for what you want to do!!! I have also done a little hockey and skating really helps with hockey coordination.

Yes I would guess that there should be some adult league or open hockey sessions at your local area. I would get two sticks, one for on ice, and one to practice on the street, this way you can begin to develop stick handling skill and puck control, leaving your time on the ice for improving your skating. As long as you have gotten the stopping thing down. You can do it.

If you really dedicate yourself you should be able to play hockey. If you're looking to play professionally though, I wouldn't count on it; most of those guys have been skating since they were 2 yrs old.

I don't think that would be a problem if you work hard and you're dedicated.
You could most likely play for some adult teams any way... Besides its not something like gymnastics that you must start at atleast 5 to do well.

i know people who first started playing in their 30's. After a few years u would never know they started at that late of age. Especially if u go to skills camps and stuff like that.
