Are YOU prepared to stand on your head to make a play?
Okay, Morrow wasn’t actually standing on his head to make this play. As you see in the sequence below, he had just been wrecked by Bergeron (2003 NHL playoffs).
Yes this is a Web site about REAL hockey (ice; not roller, not inline, not table, not bubble, or field hockey).
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); Europe; junior hockey leagues; college hockey leagues from NCAA hockey; highschool and minor hockey; CJHL, 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 other minor pro hockey leagues like 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 too. 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? A lot! Read pages and comments in this Web site. Ask us your question(s). Get involved and take control of your own hockey career. Nobody else can do it for you.
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, or any other high level of hockey.

Decent ! That’s not anything a 14 year old playing roller hockey and isn’t even good well today Is the day where I start putting in my hours to becoming a good hockey player you know I may not make it to NHL even tho I do hope one day I can I will put my blood sweat and tears into this from now on I should’ve when I started 3 years ago but you may not have even read this far but you are gonna hear my name again so wish me luck and my grind is never gonna stop from this day on I will eventually switch to ice hockey then continue on to proffesional.. till next time
Hope you make it to NHL, but mostly I hope you have a ton of fun.
Why is making it so hard? Is it because you have to be dedicated or is it because most people reach their full potential that isn’t enough to make it
