You’re not “putting your kid behind” if they are going in to Timbits at 5 years old
Most kids who start at that age can’t skate much at all when the season starts and end up improving immensely.
Coaches don’t spend the whole practice picking kids up.
If a kid wants to play hockey, they should play hockey.
Geez, when I was a kid, my folks put me in for a year of skating before hockey. I may have developed some skill, I wanted to play hockey, and it was not hockey. The kids I played street hockey with at recess every day at school were playing hockey, and I was just skating.
Hockey is fun, not a waste of time
Edit: fotze said it well lol

I don't think my kids would still be playing hockey if we put them in skating alone at the start. But that would probably have been a good thing. So put your kids in skating for the first 4 years, will save a bunch of money in the long run. haha
