hello, i have loved hockey all my life, but i grew up in a very poor family and was never able to play hockey until i was 17 and payed for it myself, i scored 2 goals that season and had 6 assists, the 2 goals were garbage tap ins haha ive always had so much passion, when i was a kid i used to love playing road hockey and hockey in p.e. i always did good in pe even against guys who played hockey their whole lives, so i thought that would translate well into ice hockey, but nope i was terrible. i played one year, had all the passion in the world but got discouraged at my skill level and felt humiliated because i was the worst player by far on my house league team.
i stopped playing out of embarrassment. and now im scared to start again even though its something i would LOVE to do, i have been a die hard hockey fan my whole life.
i just want to play next season very badly, but i want to actually be able to skate with most of the guys and compete
areas of my game that need DRASTIC improvement
-SKATING!!!!!
-Shooting the puck (i can shoot a plastic street puck amazingly and im not sure why i have a hard time getting the puck off the ice i think this is because of my skating and balance etc...)
i feel that if i could skate properly and had strength on my skates i could be a competitive player out there and actually have fun instead of feeling sad because i feel i let my team mates down after every shift
does anyone have tips? or words of encouragement of people who have started at a older age and what their stories were?
i would really like to start playing again and stick with it this time because i am one of the most passionite hockey guys anyone would meet, but i need help to actually live my passion rather than watch it from the side lines.
thanks
Chris
