Post Body

I didn't start skating until 6 or 7th Grade. But I have my son who is going to be 6 Months next month. I know a lot of NHL and Canadians always say they started before they could walk.

When is the best time to start getting him on the ice? What are some tips if you have any to make him feel more comfortable on the ice? I live in NY and the Islanders have a program at 2-4, but if I can get him on the ice earlier, I would love to.

Edit: Thanks everyone! Awesome information. Will prob wait until 2/3 and let him dictate.
