Yoga can be great for that too depending on the ‘scenery’

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

I am one of those guys 70+ yo and playing twice a week. Our local rink has noon drop in hockey from 12 to 2 every week day, so on Tuesday there is a good group of retired guys who show up. On Friday, some of us better older players skate with much better and younger players, and we have a ball. We are respected as legends and locker room camraderie and joking is great. I cruise when I want, play no defense and occasionally make the beautiful move or pass... all for $8 dollars.
F going out and coming home after midnight, playing with clowns who can't wrap their pinheads around "rec hockey" and the cost is less and the ice time longer.... win win win!
Keep playing and remember.... it's supposed to be fun and make you feel like a kid again!

This is wonderful and absolutely where I hope to be in 20 years. I skate every Sunday morning with a great group of guys... but it costs a $20 spot. Well worth it!
Check out the ready state on YouTube or download their app. Try their warmups and protocols. Do Pilates, and check out yoga from a PT like Dr Arielle Foster(regular yoga programs poor mechanics). Absolutely seek help from licensed professionals and not anecdotes off the Internet, take care of yourself and stay on top of maintenance.
37 here - I found the most difference with losing 15 pounds from my normal weight (I'm 6'1 so that amount probably less if you are shorter) and like others have said doing yoga.
I wasn't serious about it either - the wife and I would just choose a 30-60 min random youtube video

I'd really like to go to a trainer one time and say "please give me a 15-30 minute workout I can do at home that will help make me a better hockey player".
Because I ordinarily hate doing just static exercise at home or in a gym (much rather be playing a game like hockey) but maybe I can fool myself into actually doing it if I think it'll improve my game.

Im 31 and already having trouble taking on guys like I did when I was even 29. Crazy how fast you can actually hit a wall once you reach 30. Im not exactly a gym rat either.
I felt my first "dip" at 39... second one at 50. It's frustrating but you'll adapt.
It is not even that I don't want to take people on anymore. Its like my mind just stops me from doing so. Like it knows my body. Frustrating for sure
Yeah, I used to be full of piss and vinegar and fought often in junior. Now I just don’t have that dog in me anymore. The dog inside of me now is a golden retriever. Not scared at all, just indifferent mostly.
I’m not going to let anyone bully me out there but getting in a fight every game isn’t something I’ll ever do again on purpose.
