Why don't you have a chance of playing any time soon....aren't ther junior and senior teams at your schools???

But ya i do play hockey both rec and for school

[ghs/wylax]

hockey is plenty expensive as lax.

[NY Lax 4]

I play friendly roller hockey at an elementary school blacktop area with friends. Gloves, sticks, and skates.

[MaKiMaKi13]

oo to answer canadian lax's question we have to buy our own uniforms and pay for ice time which is a buttload since out school is so poor plus i'd have to buy some new gear since i havent played in ages

[a2lacrosse]

Why don't you have a chance of playing any time soon....aren't ther junior and senior teams at your schools???

okay well my city has US hockey, and 2 high schools with teams. so ice time aint cheap and because of this we only have a Large Varsity team.
but i rather play a easier league for more play time.

[lax4life6]

i play. im a goalie for a Bantam major team here in NY.

[LongIslandLax]

I play hockey. Its only my 3rd year but its so much fun once you can skate good.

[Superman]

im not good enough to play on my hockey team. actually ive never played... but theres no point in starting now. i really wish i would have though.

[MainLax28]

I play for vineland midget minor. We were supposed to be pretty good, but turns out we are pretty bad.

[a2lacrosse]

ya im hoping that my goodness at skating will do most of the work

[BClax17]

on a side note any1 catch that sweet between the legs goal on the Capitals Ranger game?
It's pretty off-topic but that was Marik Malik, a defencemen.

[slinkyspine]

1st year midget Andrew Aces AA goalie. Starter.

[a2lacrosse]

1st year as you just started?

[laxfolife24]

I love hockey. I always watch it, but I can't play hockey and basketball and well basketball has its priorities.

[b_cannons_123]

My friend in the 8th grade plays JV hockey and I will get to play JV lax too this year(I'm in the 8th also.) He got to play varsity for a tournament though.

[VTlaxgurl]

I'm a freshmen and I play U-14 hockey in differnt town than my highschool b/c my highschool is too small to offer hockey, (250 people k-12). We barely have lacrosse.

[slinkyspine]

1st year as you just started?

no second year playing. 1st of three years in midget.

[a2lacrosse]

midget isnt that like 87-90.

im a late 1990, 9/18

[CougarLax07]

1st year midget Andrew Aces AA goalie. Starter.

how are you a starter after your second year playing hockey on a AA team especcially in canada. i've been playing for 9 years at goalie and I know its hard work to get good but your impressive

[slinkyspine]

lol lift wieghs power skate everyday at outdoor rink go to puckstopping with my goalie coach slideboard list goes on work work and work.

[Dadabhoy_Muzzi]

I play road hockey only. Ice hockey is expensive for me. When I play, I usually play goalie.

[a2lacrosse]

i mean right now its looking at around 300 dollars for gear. and comparing to the thousand i have spent on lax gear, looks good. though seasons cost a lot more but thats something my parents deal with.

[tomahawks11]

i play goalie in ice hockey

[laxdevil666]

im a goalie too, thats how i got into lax. but never in a thousand years would i play goalie, i have played to help the team out, usualy cause i have been the youngest, but its crazy. im gonna try and play junior A out in the mid-west for one of the teams that my dad played for when he was playing junior A, but im not sure if i want to.

[laxer41]

I have a couple of friends who will own you all at hockey, unfortunately I cant say the same about myself. 2 freshman friends who play Bantam A in Minnesota which is "the state of hockey" and believe me, its true. One friend is a freshman that plays on the 3rd line of our dominant varsity team. I wish I would've played, but in Minnesota you have to start at age 5 if your going to even MAKE a team... there is no rec league, either ur good or u suck. I started getting interested 2 years ago, however too late to learn to skate and expect to even get on the ice. Anyways go against any one of my buddies and you will get owned. Also one of them on bantam A went to the Vail shootout for lax, on Minnesota Chill U-15, but I didnt have enough money for the freakin 1,000$ 1 week trip, so I didnt tryout.

[slinkyspine]

Bantam A Ooooh let's bow to the Bantam A kids. Canada- AAA oooh three A's ooh. lol we dont have varsity though but i bet my team would beat a varsity team and the midget trips would kill them.

[FitzGoalie]

Hockey is my home sport, but they don't play it in schools down here in the south, so we're limited to very expensive non-school leagues. the closest we come in school is foot hockey in gym class, which is actually surprisingly fun, mainly because no one wheres any pads or anything. they actually stopped allowing us to play in middle school after 5 broken noses (two of which were my fault)

but to answer your questiom, yes, i play Ice and Street Hockey, mainly as a goalie, but also as a center.

[fallingupstairs]

yea i play goalie and have beed for 3 years iwouldnt say im good but im probly the best at our school

[wilsontopowell]

Bantam A Ooooh let's bow to the Bantam A kids. Canada- AAA oooh three A's ooh. lol we dont have varsity though but i bet my team would beat a varsity team and the midget trips would kill them.

bantam a is the highest level u get in minnesota for youth hockey

[laxer41]

... just because you have more A's in the level doesnt mean you would crush us. Our high school has had almost 40 alumni in the NHL at one time or another. we also had every one of last years senior starters graduating into WCHA schools. ex MN gophers, MSU spartans, North Dakota, etc. Highest level of College hockey. Being from Canada doesnt automatically make you a better play than us. I would seriously LOVE to watch our varsity play your team, basically to play on Varsity you have to play JV as an 8th grader AT LEAST. Minnesota and Colorado are top 2 hockey states, and Bantam A is the feeder system for HS varsity hockey. Your team might be able to beat our bantam A team, but I wouldnt talk until you know what you would be up against. Btw, we have one player who has already signed with an NHL team, but is going to Minnesota Gophers for college.

Believe me i have more friends that are good at hockey...I go to Holy Angels, won the state championship last year and will this year too. but Hurley, gonna play for Cornell, Barribal gonna play for U of Minnesota, Hummel(graduated last year) playing USHL rite now and will play for St.Cloud State next year...Frazze the goalie for the U of M went to Holy Angels, hes not my friend, jus saying how good he is. And watch out for Danny Matson and Mark Delude...both freshman made varsity this year, and making varsity as a freshman at arguably the best high school hockey team in the U.S....i think thats pretty good...so look out for those names in the future. ya beat that.

danny madsen is amazing at hockey.

[MBLacrosse]

im the captain for my highschool team and its like the first team we've had in probably 10 years or so. Like isnt highschool the highest you can play when ur 17 in the US? Friends of mine here that play AAA are going in some tournament against a bunch of prep schools from the US and one or two from saskatchewan. so i was wondering how much of a challenge it will be for them in this tournament.

[lacrosse19]

played hockey for like 16 years but thanks to lacrosse i had to quit...im going to play in a adult league when i get home....WOOO 500 POSTS!

[anderson16]

I played varsity hockey in North Dakota. i am a senior now and our season is over. I am now falling in love with lacrosse. never played before, but i am going to play for University of North Dakota's club team. i am REAL excited.

Didn't you guys lose to Red River this year, terrible, ha.


I use to play hockey, I've lived in Hockey states most my life [ND, MN, and MI], so hockey is pretty fluent to me, but I stopped playing in 8th grade, still not sure why I stopped, but I did.

[malax31]

i played-my highschool doesnt have a team

[goalie33fan]

I am the starting goalie on my high schools varsity ice hockey team.I have been playing sinse I was 6. Fresman year was more exspencive to pl;ay because you have to buy jerzies. I think it was $1,800 or so and all of the other years is $1,600. Pads are like a couple grand all together.

[Dy3h@rD]

k im a 93 and a secound year bantam (next year) and will be a fresh man and will most likely make jv. Hockey is crazy expensive by me and because my sister plays to its really expensive. Im a center and have been playing since i was 2...

[hockey&lax]

i play both! attack and center

[Pitibear]

im not good enough to play on my hockey team. actually ive never played... but theres no point in starting now. i really wish i would have though.
Dude, one of the top five players in our city didn't start til he was 14...if you want to, you can...just know that you will need to put extra skating time in to catch up...inlne hockey rec play and practice can put you in good stead.

ya im hoping that my goodness at skating will do most of the work
Yeah, it will, as long as you don't allow your speed to "compensate" for lazy play...work on the stick, eh?

I play inline hockey and indoor lax...the combination works very well, these being the two forms of the sports that are most alike, eh?

[sidewinder19]

i played on a crappy team this year./I was the best on the team though.I got like 55 points in 30 games.I was more of a play maker though.I ripped a lot of slapshots though.I like to think its my specialty.

PS- i think a Canadian AAA team would smoke most US high school teams.

[Pitibear]

A Canadian Junior B team would smoke most high school teams...

Yeah we had a REALLY bad year this year. we had a lot of good talent, but a really bad coach and really bad attitudes.

[EHSLAX12]

i dont play for my hs, i was going to but they cut the program. i play for a travel team on the side, but i just quit that as well because i had to move up to u18 and as good as i was on u16 i cant match that skill on the next level. plus, i wanted to focus a bit more on lax than hockey.

[mnlax9]

well i do live in minnesota so a majority of kids my age (16) have played, do play, or go to all the hockey games. Me i play hockey and im a goalie for my highschool

[wilsontopowell]

no offense or anything but in traditional hockey states like minnesota you wont start on any high school team if you started skating at the age of 14

[RIT37FO]

played for 16 years. won a national jr title when i was a freshman woooo.

[bplaxg33]

hmmm finished my 13th season and final in youth hockey with a second place finish in the WAHA State tournament, though to be fair there is almost no way we could have beaten the best teams in the state in the school sanctioned WIAA Spash, Fondulac and Superior have way to many schools to draw from.

[Brandon303]

A Canadian Junior B team would smoke most high school teams...
My highschool team could be in the OHL, all we have is Junior A all stars.

[MadCowDisease]

Hockey for about 7/8 years, I've been told I was the best in my league(13u) when I was 10 or 11.
Just started lacrosse this season.

[Pitibear]

no offense or anything but in traditional hockey states like minnesota you wont start on any high school team if you started skating at the age of 14

...of course...but if you have a couple of years, and you do the work, you can become a valuable, contributing member of the team...

That's what the thought was about, wasn't it? "Do I have the time at this late date to make it worthwhile?"

I'm telling the guy yes, but only with the work involved...even in Minnesota (I graduated from high school in Upper Michigan)...

[italianstalion]

i played roller hockey last year but i tore my acl and i cant skate for a while so it kinda sucks

[Bubbaganish]

I play. Im a defenseman for my local Bantam team.

[lax4life6]

Well I'm now on my high school team. We're actually going to be pretty good this year and we have a shot at states. its gonna be good

[CoUgArLAX18]

I going to play Bantam AA next year for the Junior Everblades. Were from Florida. Most people think that Florida hockey is terrible but its actually not. I mean I know were not on par with Canada or Minnesota but we played some teams from up north and smoked a few and didn't get blown out except for one game against a good canadian team. We also have 3 kids from our last year's AAA team that got invited to play with the Syracuse Stars Bantam AAA team. One of my best friends, Jeff Heuerman, had a scholarship to play for Shattuck's but instead lived with a family in Michigan and played for Compuware AAA.

500th Post. I'm proud of myself.
