So I was this short kid with huge feet... a kid i coached the past few years was 5'8 with size 15 shoe... i used to tell him he looked like an L. he was 15-17 while i coached him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GeeZa32 0 Report post Posted December 7, 2004 Lucky people who are tall....I'm 14 almost 15 and I am 5'2 Pfffft dont worry about size. Build yourself up and you'll be fine. I'm 18 and only 5'4, but im a solid 157. I never worried about the other guys I played against. If you build yourself up and know how to concentrate your mass/power in one area, you will be able to still throw some nice hits and keep your balance when bigger guys are on you.

Chadd 916 Report post Posted December 7, 2004 You used to be able to do that here but they changed it to only 4 years of HS hockey. Too many teams were playing a kid at jr and sr high at the same time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too many teams were playing a kid at jr and sr high at the same time. I thought that was to keep people who are 22 and still kicking around HS from playing against 15 year olds.

Pachocolate29 0 Report post Posted December 8, 2004 well lots of people now these days seem to be alot bigger than our elders mothers fathers, so i uno what it is but yea in alberta there's a kid that plays in edmonton that is 6"6 and he is in gr 9 playin bantam so me being the giant 5'5 it's kinda scary being against them but not as bad as being a player so you wouldn't get chrushed by him (me being a goalie an all) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There big and they move. I was 3rd line smallest kid for both teams. I was drilled over and over again. I hated it lol I thought about calling it quits (for that year). I think schools should take a look at the player. If there good enough and smart enough they can be allowed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Joe 0 Report post Posted December 10, 2004 I suppose guys like Chara are leading the way in the "Bigfoot can play hockey!" stakes these days. I saw a pic of him and his missus in THE HOCKEY NEWS, her head finishes at his shoulder, just under even. Interesting though in the article so many people from his junior to younger days told him to goto Volleyball or Basketball and forget hockey because of his height. Then again even Gretzky had his detractors! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think schools should take a look at the player. If there good enough and smart enough they can be allowed. When I was in Gr. 6, in Peewee, I was maybe 5'5-5'6, and I'm around 5'7-5'8 now. Size wasn't really a problem by the time I was in Gr. 7. My parents still didn't want me to be playing against 17-18 year olds, which wasn't cool at the time, but now I'm sort of happy that I didn't :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
