Why the hate? I played stick and puck the other day and a few of the younger guys that are not regulars, were mocking a guy who had low level and older equipment. i know the guy he dosent have a lot of funds but plays every week. I just dont get why unless you have pro equipment you love the game less or are not as good as others in some peoples eyes. Anyway just had to get this out. Moving on.

Welcome. I signed up here exactly 4 years ago, shortly before getting back on the ice for the first time in 24 years at 52. No doubt, the first time was brutal; but it comes back. Just go to sticks & pucks a couple of times a week and you'll be ready to play again in a couple of months. Everything comes back except for the speed and reflexes that you'd have lost anyway just by virtue of aging. If you haven't stayed in shape in the interim, you should just start working out and doing some cardio. That's something I never stopped doing and I know it would have been a lot harder to start playing again if I had. Been playing in a 50+ league, sticks & pucks once or twice a week, and doing clinics whenever I can ever since.  

Thank you for the advice and words of encouragement. Cardio I’m working on for sure. It’s a challenge up here in NH it’s been below zero everyday except for two for two months. But it’s getting better every time I get on the ice. Thank you again everyone.

I have read almost all of the responses in here. I’m 39. And only played in high school. Started playing again this year and it felt like my first time on the ice. But the response in here tells me I can still do this and keep trying. Because I love this game and working at it. Thank you all for this.
