How can i become a hockey athelete?

I just started getting into hockey and watching it and everything but i never have played it and i am ok at ice skating and in ok shape. What can I do to be completely ready to go into a league my age (15-16)





p.s if you no any good hockey tips or workouts i can do that would be great, thanks!|||You will be completely out of your element, trying to keep up with 16 year olds who have been playing for 10 years, or more.





Forget that idea, and look for a "beginners school" that teaches BASICS, like skating, passing, shooting and most importantly, sportsmanship and correct hockey rules. You will never be able to make up all those years that you missed when you weren't playing hockey, in the past. But that doesn't mean that you can't LEARN how to play well, now.

I suggest looking into a "learn to play program" at your local rink and skating lessons (with a hockey player as that is what you want to get into) on the side. Roller / Street hockey helps if you can't get a lot of ice time, but is slightly different.|||Cardio is important for one, a lot of exercising is a key, a daily workout plan that should be about a hour long at home or at the rink, a 1/2 to an hour of solid skating, eat healthy, work on puck handling, those are some key elements to become a better athlete hope this helps. and good luck on playing|||Just play hockey every day. You will get used to it if you work yourself hard. Remember to train really hard in the trainings. You dont really need to work out but if you really want to here are some ideas:


Walk the dog every if you have one


Bounce on the trampoline for half and hour


Shoot pucks in the garage or outside.





trust me you get worked out in the trainings|||Average NHL/Superstar players start skate at 4 years old.|||Any kind of work out will help
