Since you live in California, why don't you suggest to him that he play roller hockey. I am sure there are far more opportunities to play roller than ice. I think there are leagues out there that are semi-pro, if not pro out there, too. If he's that good, he may be able to make a little money at it, as well.

If you lived in a state where a college had a hockey program I would say give it a try, realizing he would have to attend that college, but since Cali doesn't have any college programs I am aware of I would say it's a long shot.
Sorry, just being honest.

LITY: She is probably talking about an ACHA club team. Many of the schools in California field club teams including the big name schools such as UCLA, USC, etc. Many fully finance their teams or at least subsidize them. Like Bob said, he will need to actually attend the school in order to play. If he was a good player in high school, his odds of making an ACHA D-II team are excellent.
EDIT: His age will not be a factor, there are no restrictions. When I was looking at going back to school at the age of 35 I was approached by a few of the local coaches I knew to see if I would be interested going to one of their schools and playing.

My cousin played for the Stanford hockey club, but it was just a fun thing for students and faculty who happened to enjoy hockey. I guess hockey is hockey even if it's not division whatever. As university club hockey includes graduate students and faculty being 26 is not an issue, but you have to actually be associated the uni. in the first place to join their hockey club.

To add to what Bob says.....not only would he have to go to College, he would have to go to a College with a hockey team......and last I looked, there were none in California at the Div I, Div II, or Div III level.
Lubers - you're right. If it's not listed on the NCAA page, I don't look at it. My fault.
