I recently started rollerblading again (about 13km 3 times a week) and my groin has been slightly aggravated on the off days. Then I played in an ice hockey game for the first time in probably 20 years (a week ago) and now my groin is sore again. It's not overly painful, but definitely would be a factor in skating. I tried blading today for the first time since last week and I felt the pain uphills and especially when I dragged my skate to stop.

So my dilemma is whether to join this hockey league or not. Is this going to happen every time I play and get worse? I don't really want to shell out $800 then miss tons of games. I've tried heating it and icing it, but it's still tender and this wasn't even a bad strain. I like to skate hard when I play but I just don't see it happening if it stays like this.

Do you have this problem? Any exercises or remedies to counter it?
