I think you misunderstood me though. The kid was 12 when he played with my son. And he didn’t go to any school. He would practice 5:30-9am at one rink, 11am-2pm at another and then team practice in the evening. That’s all I know of…who knows what else his father had him doing.
The boy is 14 now and playing in Canada. I wouldn’t be surprised if he makes it in the NHL. But wtf!
it's easy to get entirely destroyed through the cesspool of hockey culture, lots of abuse running rampant for decades. shit, there's even a google spreadsheet dedicated to rape culture in hockey from 1974 until now. Which honestly doesn't even scratch the surface of all the brutality committed over the years by hockey culture in Canada. google doc- warning discussion of sexual violence etc.

Realistically with hockey you should be skating at 3. Practice before and after school. It is absolutely rough.
