beaver5 1 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 well first off i play midget A (its like a league for 15 year olds) and im on the ice like 5-6 times a week. im 15 and i made the varsity basketball team. now im the only gr.10 on this team. I consider myself better at ball then hockey and ive only played basketball for 2 years.my coach says im a natural and i should consider focusing on it and maybe even quitting hockey to take up basketball because it could take me to college or university.now what are your views on this issue guys. i mean i love hockey and ive played for a long time. im good at that too but i just dont wanna blow something i could have by making the wrong choice.

What do you like most, basket or hockey. That would be as simple as it for me. But I understand everyone is not the same. Good luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mack 44 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Go with what can take you somewhere unless you just absolutely hate it. Hopefully you like it a lot, but even so it can lead to other opportunities the other sport may not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beaucoup_fish 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 If you truly think that hoops can take you to college gratis, then go for it...you can always pick up hockey again at a later point in your life, and as long as you enjoy ball, then missing hockey shouldn't be a huge problem...

All Torhs Team 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Are you really THAT short on time. I would think that you could still play hockey, or basket ball, focusing on one and still playing like house leauge for the other sport that was not choosen to be focused on.

mack 44 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 Depending on the level, just one sport can eat up most of your time. Doesn't help that basketball and hockey run in the same season either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jibby93 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 it's really up to you but im pretty sure that posting it on a hockey site you'd probably get a more bi-ist opinion towards hockey! but its really a desicion to make on your own but I would choose hockey but then again you would probably win over the ladies if your on your school varsity team! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hocckey77 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 since you're obviously pretty good at that, stay with it if you like it enough. If you stand out enough you'd probably play college somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hockeyblood 11 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 Dude! you said your coach told you that you are a "natural" for playing only 2 years? Well, if you believe on what he said and believe you can do it without any hesitation and that's where your heart is... then go for basketball.But if you can't sleep... fu** it! Id go for hockey.

driz86 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2005 it wouldn't be a bad idea to take a year off of hockey and see were that takes you. Your still young so it wouldn't be a big deal at all. I say play basketball Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
