i don;t understand what ou are asking though, just go get some skates and go to some public ice time, wrap a scarf under the underarms and hold them up, see what they like. If they like the stick, then give them the stick, it makes it a little more fun. He is starting in the fall with trailswest before being three.
Too bad his nhl career is already shot since his genetics limit him the be 5 foot fata-all in height.  |
do the kids have to be specially approved to enter hockey at a younger age like your son? My kids 2, is taller than many 5 year olds and pretty solid on his feet but hasnt skated much, he turns 3 in September.
