Biggest regret in life is that I didn't push my parents harder to let me play hockey lol. I live out in the sticks so closest hockey league was a ways away and my school definitely didn't offer hockey.
I played a little before i moved, and i was good, for a kid. I still have some natural talent, i can burn most of the guys here on blades. They are just better on the ice than i am.
If i didnt move i would've played my entire childhood, assuming my parents let me. I dont see why they wouldnt have though. I lived in Oxford Township, about 20mins from Troy so there was plenty of opportunity for me to play without much travel at all.
But my dad quit his job and found a job at a start-up here in San Francisco, so we had to move. It was hard, especially when i wanted to play hockey but none of the neighborhood kids knew how to play, had no gear or anything, i was often out by myself on the street. and it just wasnt fun so i quit playing and thats about the time i picked up baseball again for a year, since that was what kids around the area played.
