Question

At what age can I start ice hockey?

Community Answer

You can start at pretty much any age as long as you're supervised! I would recommend checking online for local hockey leagues to see what their age requirements are though, assuming you want to join a team.

Question

How do I lift the puck?

Community Answer

Hit it like normal, but scoop your stick a little when coming in contact with the puck. This will lift it.

Question

My child is doing her first hockey match, but she's only had one lesson in P.E. She's really confused. She doesn't know any positions for the players. Do you think I should let her play?

Community Answer

You should absolutely let her play. Regardless of her skill level or knowledge of the game, she should just go out there and have fun. Maybe work with her a bit in the driveway to teach her the basics, but kids are very quick learners and she will pick it up fast.

Question

Should I let my daughter be a goalie? Is that a good position?

Community Answer

Yes, however you should try renting the equipment because it may be expensive.
