I play as much as I can get on the ice and I'm 24
from about the middle of april through to the end of June, I'm on the ice once a week...after that I'm in a summer league where I'm on the ice twice a week, plus I usually skate with guys from the 2 junior teams in town once, MAYBE twice a week just to keep my legs and actually have some pretty good skates.
Then come september I'm on the ice 4, maybe 5 times a week...it's glorious.
