I played Ice Hockey on the Guildford Junior team back in the day and Roller hockey all the time with my mates (my shirt number is still my lucky number in fact!)
Only thing was I had to give up the ice hockey as my parents couldn't keep affording the pads, skates & sticks as I grew etc.
Being the youngest of four boys was a shitter.
I
did buy some skates again about 10 years or so back, but had no one to go with and didn't want to look silly trying to get into the Guildford Smoke amateur team.
So, now, with my knees starting to go and my fitness is a long distant memory, I've given up ever getting on the ice again
Luckily... my youngest son seems to LOVE hockey and is a little dare devil with no fear.
Tiny little kid skates have been ordered
