Nope.
My name is Ted. I'm 58 years old, and I started learning to play hockey this year. Why in the world would a guy my age take up hockey, of all things? First, I've been a fan of the sport for most of my life. Google the California Seals if you must. Yeah, they were my team as a kid. Terrible team, but they made up for it by having a truly awful logo and team colors.
When my granddaughter was born, she attended her first minor league hockey game before she was a week old (Norfolk Admirals). A few years ago they moved to Phoenix, Arizona, home of the Arizona Coyotes.
The 'Yotes take their community outreach seriously, and spend big bucks on ice rinks and youth hockey in the area. My granddaughter started playing mites three years ago, and loves it.
Grandpa (yours truly) loves that she loves it. So what else could I do but learn for myself, so I could be more involved in what she was doing. When we visit each other, we have a blast playing street hockey and attending games.
