5 years strong. I got into in 4th grade and now in 9th grade, I'm thinking it may time to hang up the gloves. The HS team is top five in the country, so my shots of making it are slim to none. I'm too skinny and I don't have enough muscle to push around guys that are 210. If you have fun and enjoy the sport, don't hang up the gloves just because you may not be able to continue at an elite level; and I say may because size and muscle are not everything. Join a club team and have some fun. I started when I was 5 years old and I still play year round at 35.
It may sound like old man talk now, but when I was in my teens and early twenties it was all about league, provincial, and national championships. Truth is I get more enjoyment and pleasure out of it now because I can just relax, enjoy playing and hanging out with friends afterwards.
