Hockey is a great sport for juniors. It teaches them teamwork and fairplay. It is a little expensive, but the game pays out more than you spend.

That is a really good question. First off though you have to have some skill in order to play the game correctly. You can't just go out there with little to no skill are attack people when they skate by you. I do think that a little toughness can compliment your strong skills whatever they may be.\n\nFor example say one of your skills is that you are really fast, you can use that quickness to get in deep on dump-ins. Then get down and dirty in the trenches fighting for the loose pucks.\n\nSo basically I'm saying that having both toughness and skill would be a great combo. I just dont think that just being  a tough guy that takes penalties is really going to help him get any better. He needs to just keep practicing the basics.

I think it really depends on the area where you live.  In southern or western states, people might ask "What's Hockey?"  But in Minnesota, Michigan or the Northeast (NY, Boston, etc.), you have a higher percentage of fans, because the sport has more appeal there, due mainly to the fact that Hockey has it's U.S. roots in those regions (the first NHL teams started there, lots of college and NHL championship history, cold weather, etc.).\n\nI know hockey appeals to me because of the fast-paced, exciting nature of the sport.  Many guys like it because it's the only sport where players can get in fistfights and not be suspended.\n\nBut for the answer why guys become obsessed with any sport?  I'd probably say it's the competitive nature of guys.  We tend to make everything a life-or-death competitition.  Playground basketball. Bowling. Darts. Poker. The specific sport/activity varies from guy to guy, but many of us are like this.  So it's not just Hockey...  it just happens to be Hockey for the guys you know.\n\nHope that helps!

You could search around for some kind of indoor field hockey team or a non-school related team. If not you can't find one you could join a track team since both sports insist on running, alot. With a track team you wouldn't be running alone.

That actually sounds like a lot of fun! People have done it with hockey, so why not basketball? Your grandkids may very well have started a new sports craze!

In my years of covering the sport, the nicest rink I have been to is the Dallas Stars. The ice surface itself in the summer is hard to keep good but the facility itself is great. Nashville has a nice arena too. But ice quality is a toss up between the Red Wings and Edmonton Oilers. The best players are as follows\nCenter - Eric Stall/ Joe Thornton\nRight Wing - Jaromir Jagr/ Daniel Alfredsson\nLeft Wing - Alexander Ovechkin/ Ilya Kovalchuk\nDefensemen - Rob Niedermayer/ Nick Lidstrom/ Sergei Zubov\nGoalie - this is tough Kiprusoff or Brodeur. Its hard to choose. my personal opinion is Kirprusoff. \n\nThose are the players that I believe are the best at their positions.

Well yea pretty much the best sport, eh. Drink beer and play. Yea how boot Hockey Night in Canada, all time favorite. Hockey is great, fast paced, big hits and goals.

No, the typical Canadian does not play growing up.\nNot everyone understands the rules.\nAnyone can play as well as ladies, young or old.\nIt seems as if the fun is in the playing more than observing.\nNot all schools have a team, not all schools have access to an ice surface to play and practice.

I'm both a hockey player and hockey fan. Hockey is soo fun to watch but nothin compares to goin on the ice with newly sharpined skates and scorin a few goals.  BUT mostly I'm a hockey player......\n\nHOCKEY RULES   HOCKEY RULES   HOCKEY RULES   HOCKEY RULES

can i assume you are a kid. Makes a bit of a difference. For example, if you are playing contact hockey or not.\n\nThe hardest and most expensive position to play is goalie.\n\nI would say,  check out your skating speed versus the other people playing. If you are slower, then you might be better off playing defense. If you are faster and have a good aim, then I guess a forward might be a better choice.

If he was been playing ice hockey since he was 11, you should ship him off the Boston College on a hockey scholarship in 4 years.  If he is really dedicated to the game, don't hold back and encourage him to follow his dream.
