<font size="3">Skating again? I played ice hockey when I was younger and haven't really skated since I stopped 10 years ago. Last night I went skating and shooting some pucks with my friends. My skates took awhile to break back in and today I notice alot of aches and pains. I think I might want to get back into playing again possibly in a mens league. I need the exercise and mental release.How long before I feel like I've gotten all my skills back?</font>

<p>Not knowing the quality of player you were before you hung them up I can't say for sure, what I do know is if you are out playing around on a steady basis you'll pick up the skating skills rather quickly. You'll start to notice your front to back turns are less choppy, your crossovers are getting more bounce and your strides becomming more powerful. The skating is the easy part!</p><p>What you'll have a harder time regaining is your timing. Your passes will be 1 foot behind the guy or be intercepted. Deflections on shots from the point will be missed...etc,etc.</p><p>I jumped on the ice for the first time in 2 years last month and I got the skating back instantly, my timing sucked really bad, I missed passes, miss passed, got beat on 1 on 1's, misplayed pucks and just couldn't see the ice as quickly and clearly as usual.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Keep at it, it'll come quicker than you think. Just let it happen, don't get down on yourself.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Did your teeth hurt when you went out? My teeth hurt the first time or two I go out every year because I am breathing in so much cold air.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>.</p>

About 3 months ago I started playing basketball again for the first time, other then the odd pick-up game,&nbsp;in about 13 years.&nbsp; It took abouth a month of playing about an hour a day to get everything back (stamina, touch, court vision, speed, etc) to what I feel is a respectable level.&nbsp;
