On NHL Hockey Ice
So you think you’d like to skate on the NHL hockey ice?
Well, there are many ways to get to skate on NHL ice these days. NHL franchised hockey teams have many different promotions to facilitate your use of their ice. Playing professional hockey on NHL ice is a different story.
Play Pro Hockey – NHL Entry Draft
How does one get to play pro hockey, specifically nhl hockey? To be recruited to the NHL entry draft, NHL prospects are watched and chosen from the CHL (ohl, whl, qmjhl); junior hockey leagues; college hockey leagues from NCAA hockey; highschool and minor hockey; USHL, and NAHL. Those players who attract the attention of NHL scouts have extensive hockey training from numerous hockey drills and hours on and off ice. They’ve attended hockey camps and hockey schools, and have superior hockey skills. Some will have to prove themselves in the AHL or even the ECHL first.
Ice Hockey Goals
If your goal is to play ice hockey on an NHL team, then it’s likely that you’ve already put in some effort, and hockey teams may want you also. Their scouts have to find you though. Do you know which are the best hockey leagues to play in to be scouted?
To Be A Pro Hockey Player
Not everyone can be a pro hockey player. Imagine the love of the ice hockey game, the dedication to hockey training, the number of ice hockey games you’d have to play. What would it take for you to play at the pro hockey level, NHL, AHL, or even the major junior hockey or junior A level?
NHL Hockey Ice will cover how to learn hockey so you can get to the NHL, common steps taken to get there, who is likely to get on a NHL ice hockey team, and what it’s like to play team hockey at that level.

Hi, I have been playing street (foot) hockey for about 5 years, im 13 and looking to get on a team but don’t have the money. I try to practice everyday, and join other sports like basketball to help me get stronger and faster. I can shoot the puck hard and fast and I can skate great. Send a reply and tell me if you think I could make the NHL someday.
Continue to love the game, Owen, and that will make you continue to practice. Try to find a way to raise money to get in an ice hockey league.
hey, i have been playing hockey for as long as i know , hockey is in my blood. i have been playing since i was 4, i have taken many hockey camps and you could say im pretty good, i can skate fast, good with the puck, and a team player. im 13 now and in my first year of bantam hockey, im in “C” hockey because i didnt want to try out. a couple buddies of mine who are on the “A” team said, next year i could easily make the team.. i try hard in practice and i work out off ice, and eat healthy nutritiouse food that will get me big, i also have good cardiovascular and i watch alot of hockey taking hints and tips, im 5′8 1/2 and weigh 141 pounds what do you think my chances of making a WHL team or maybe even a junior A team like the surrey eagles?

Hi im Slate Gray. Im a 1997, I currently play AAA hockey and im 6′2 160 pounds.
I was wondering if you had any ideas on how i can improve or join any of your hockey camps. My dream is to make it to the NHL. I need help.
Hey, I need help. I hav always dreamed of NHL I am in shape and I can skate. I hav been skating 4 8 years. I really need help. I live in a small town where scouts r never. I dont think my parents would like 2 move to another province. What should I do?
why would you have to move to another province? Is there a city/town within two hours of you with more competitive hockey, or travel programs?
