Hi,
My kid started skating at 3 and was very good compared to all kids of his age.
A year later, he started to play hockey with his age category (2014) and again was a good skater compared to the others. After three months of practice, he got transferred with older kids (2013). In the practices, he fit perfectly with this older group but when he play a game, my god he is not there at all. He's not following the puck, not going for it either. He is skating, looking everywhere, not trying to steal the puck. He is quite useless on the ice and almost never touch the puck.
He says he likes to play but even with his good skating, I'm not sure this is the sport for him. I'm just afraid he would start playing with kids his age next year and still be in the clouds like this...
What do you think? Will he start to focus on the game as he get older? Did you have a child that took time to focus on the puck?
