Answer 1

ye for sure i cant even slapshot it that hard, hit the local rink and try out for the rep teams. Or you can play for your school. All the best man and good luck.. Impossible is Nothing!

Answer 2

Yeah you would probably be good if you are aggresive because our game style is much more physical.

I'm 13, my rink lap time is recorded at 18.394

and my slapshot is about 55 mph. I played 28 games and scored 42 goals and 12 assists (54 points)

I'm pretty big (5ft 7" and 120 pounds) I am tall and thin, I was in 6 fights (most on the team)

If you're a good hitter then you will be good.  

Answer 3

I'm not going to comment on your question ( I am not a guy and I am American, therefore excluded from this question).  Yet,  I just wanted you and everybody to know that 14.5 stone is 203 pounds.  1 stone = 14 pounds.  

Good luck to you!

Answer 4

Sure you could.

They sound like pretty good stats.

If you want to make something out of it, I'd recommend trying out for Midget AAA team.  If you don't make it go to AA.

See where it goes, but I'm sure you could compete over here.  We do have excellent hockey players, but your stats sound good to me.

Where are you moving to in Canada?

Answer 5

I'm a girl, but I play varsity hockey for my university team. And yes, I'm sure you could play hockey at a decent level! I'm not sure, but I think NHLers can make a lap in about 8 seconds, and slapshots are usually around 100...not that you'd be playing NHL, but if you're only 17 I'm sure that you could make a good team with those kind of stats! You can't really compare season length and points since we don't really know what you're up against, or what your team is like, but by the sounds of it you're pretty good. Just have fun with it!! Good luck!

Answer 6

matters what team you join. try out a house team at first and move up when you are comftorable.
