Answer 1

I'm sorry but no. Most superstars have been skating since they were 2. Unfortunetly for you even most average guys start around 11. I'm sorry too late but I feel your pain. Try baseball maybe. I'm a little older the same way. Good at regular but can't skate. Do what I do. Take up baseball

Answer 2

I think that it is still possible for you to go out there and play hockey. It will just take a lot of work though. First you will need to learn how to skate (well). Then you will need to attend some clinics or get in a non-competitive league to improve your over-all fundamentals. Whether you will go pro or not is a question that can't be answered. Some people are really good and never go pro. If you want my opinion I think that the chances    of you going pro are slim. But if you keep at it who knows what will happen!

Answer 3

You've got a VERY small chance at making the NHL.  In fact if you're not even skating probably none at all, but that doesn't mean you can't be good and play in a semi competitive league.

Answer 4

I also wanted to play too and I am 16 years old. You have a chance to make to the NHL if you played very well. I am playing football too. I have been obsessed with sports like hockey, football, basketball, soccer, and baseball. I am very talent with football, soccer, and hockey. I need to start practice playing basball and basketball. I am still looking forsign ups in in hockey.... so I dunno what to say for you, but I will find more info for you so I can share what we have to believe in ourselves.

Answer 5

well you have to be able to have people pay to watch you... do you think your that good

Answer 6

depending on the league you play in, if you've never skated before definitly take skating lessons. if you know how to skate, its easier to learn the game and what not. and unless you work REALLY hard and have natural talent, then the NHL might be a possibility.. although i doubt it. i've been playing since 2nd grade, and D1 colleges are incredibly hard to get into. so good luck!
