How long has hockey been in your family?

You'd be first generation if you or your brothers/sisters were the first in the family to play, second generation if your dad/mom were the first in the family to play, and third generation if your grandfather/grandmother were the first in the family to play.

It depends on how you count. On my side of the family, I'm first-generation; my dad took me to see Huskies games when I was a kid in Iowa, but we never played or anything (I don't even think we ever went ice skating).

My wife's grandfather was big into hockey, though; I think he was a pro (though not in the NHL, in the minor leagues) for a while. I never met him, since he died before we got together.

Im the first generation that I know of.. I was raised in MN, so im sure that SOMEBODY in my roots played. It will be a long lasting tradition on my family. My girlfriend (who I will end up marrying) plays too, so its a good foundation to build on.

second generation. I come from a big family (14 aunts/uncles on my fathers side) we use to organize a game every year nephews and uncles. it was a good showing every year. The old men caught us by surprise a couple times.

You know Canadiens, only 2 things to do in cold weather, play hockey and fornicate!

I am the only one in my family.

I shall however push any children I have into hockey so I can live vicariously through them !!!!

Second generation, my dad and uncles all played hockey. My dad, stopped playing hockey after finishing college, and then restarted about 2-3 years after i began playing. My dad being a goalie, can lead to some fun competion at times.

Let's see: my kid started playing before me; I got into it as an adult soon afterward, so does that make us both first generation, or is she first generation and me second, or vice versa?

My brother and I are first generation. I followed my older brother onto the ice. He played baseball at University of Vermont in early 70s and found his future wife. End of hockey and baseball career. I continued on in hockey and was more afraid of a baseball than a hockey puck. I'll die with my skates on. No kids to follow in my footsteps. My brother's sons played in Massachusetts(Division 2 State Champs in 2000).

My father started in his early 20's, so roughly 40 years.
