My son played soccer at that age, but several of his friends played hockey.
Here, south of the frozen zone, hockey means practicing in the limited number of indoor ice rinks. That meant (like competive swimming) scheduling practices in the wee hours before school, taking off school (and work) for travel games…all things we, as 2 working parents, couldn’t manage.
But participating in an active sport is a great for kids. At 25, our son still plays soccer, in an adult league.
