Hockey is a fast-paced, physical game that tests your mental stamina and ability to think quickly. It’s also one of the most challenging sports out there because you constantly have to be alert and fully present. In hockey, one moment you could have the puck on your stick and be making a pass or shooting opportunity. In the next split second you could be diving for the puck, avoiding an opponent’s check.

Why You Should Play Adult Hockey

In addition to being a competitive sport that requires physical strength and mental focus, hockey is known for its camaraderie. In fact, hockey players have a reputation for being some of the best sportsmen because they’re known for respecting the game and their opponents.  Those who play hockey are also known for being inclusive. Hockey players can often be found on the sidelines encouraging their teammates, regardless of their position or skill level. Hockey is, above all, a team sport, and the sense of community is strong among players. If you want to meet new people, hone your social skills, and participate in a sport that will stretch you physically and mentally, hockey is a great choice.

Build Confidence and Self-Esteem

Hockey is a game that requires you to push your mental and physical limits. You have to be committed to your team and your teammates, and you have to be willing to put in the time to practice and improve your skills. When you play hockey, you’re putting yourself out there in a way that not many other sports require. You’re exposed on the ice, and you’re expected to contribute to the team’s success. Hockey can be a great way to challenge yourself, learn about your strengths and areas for growth, and grow as a person. It can also be a great way to build self-esteem by overcoming your own self-doubt and fears.

Build a Stronger Body

Hockey players put their bodies through a lot – and for good reason. Hockey is a sport that rewards players who are strong, agile, and committed to working hard. While you can certainly build a strong body just by playing hockey, there are a few exercises you can do to help strengthen your body and your hockey game.
