This is awesome
I started playing hockey two years ago, at the age of 48, in an extremely positive no-check men's instructional league in our village. It was practically on a dare, but also trying to push myself as I get older to try hard things.
I could basically skate in ovals when I started. I vastly overestimated my ability in that respect, having gown up playing roller and foot/street hockey.
I still suck at skating, but I'm way better than I was two years ago and most weeks I play twice a week (TUE and FRI night).
I love hearing these stories about great hockey communities and it sounds like you've got one!
