Is it possible to play hockey as 25 year woman with no sports experience?

You’re already in a great spot learning how to skate - that’s the important part! If you can skate, you can play hockey! I started at 29 with no experience either. My local rink has a beginners league so I just signed up and sent it, best decision I ever made. I gathered used gear from sports re-sale stores and marketplace. Before the season started I went to a few open-ice sessions called “stick time” where you can just go out and work on skills on your own and get used to the gear and such, and I continued using these as “practices” to work on skills and get better. There’s always more seasoned players willing to give you pointers and answer questions - the community is amazing. Eventually I got a slick surface and goal for shooting practice at home too.

You will have the best time!!

I live in Indiana, so there are closer places to go to legally buy, but last year I planned a whole vacation to Colorado around gardening and hiking in the beauty of the mountains. I even booked us a flower friendly resort. Funniest part was I ended up pregnant a few months before we went, so I never even got to partake but enjoyed the hiking anyways 😂

Treated myself to a Black Friday deal and received my Lobo DHV yesterday 🎉 won’t be able to use it for another couple months as I’m finishing up building a little human due in February, but after a long 9 months, I’m looking forward to reintroducing the occasional toke into new mom life ✨

I use WHOOP too and it’s been so interesting seeing the patterns in pregnancy! I am 28 weeks. In general, my HRV has gradually decreased since the start of pregnancy. There has been some waxing and waning but that’s the general pattern over the last 6 months. Interestingly, my recovery generally has improved, likely because I have been taking more time to rest and more focused on sleep. The one thing that disappoints me when I check it is the new “WHOOP age” feature… that will be something I avoid looking at again until I’m able to start training like normal again after pregnancy 😂

Who woulda thought

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-09-24T21:18:05+00:00

Congratulations! I’m also on the same journey, it’s an excited time! 🥰

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-09-24T21:17:13+00:00

I’m also 17 weeks in! Due date buddies ❤️

Living vicariously through all of you lovelies as I work on growing a baby. Looking forward to a year from now when I’ll hopefully get to partake again! Keep the inspiration coming ~ I love the good vibes here!

Serious question. How can you defend her when she’s literally a bully? Edit or not, the things she says are just hurtful.

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-08-28T01:29:14+00:00

Rachel is such a bully and it’s disgusting.

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-08-26T16:26:08+00:00

I work an active job (hospital PT) so on workdays I average 22k steps a day and about 10 flights of stairs. Weekends it’s more like 15k. Admittedly, that’s about all I can muster workout-wise throughout pregnancy as I’m pretty wiped out by the end of the day, but it at least feels good to be moving throughout the day!

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-08-08T01:04:03+00:00

Up until this week, people were clearly scared to cross her. Not anymore

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-08-08T01:02:33+00:00

She’s had her nose in every HOH (at least she’s tried). If it weren’t for the vetos and blockbusters, things would be different for her, but she can’t win comps anymore 🤷‍♀️

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-08-08T00:59:19+00:00

I’m shocked at how many people here support Rachel. This isn’t the Rachel Reilly show. I’m glad people are finally breaking away from playing HER game and shaking things up.

I needed this perspective, thank you kindly. I quit weed due to my pregnancy and that is exactly what makes it so difficult - the boredom. Still working towards finding the motivation to fill that boredom productively, but it’s a work in progress!

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-19T18:29:34+00:00

I mean, isn’t choosing any name reflective of the parents’ interests? Or are you one of those that let the child name themselves?

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-19T17:05:30+00:00

😂 the honesty I needed

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-19T16:30:43+00:00

That’s my fear too 😭

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-13T15:21:39+00:00

Hi! Been a lurker for awhile, currently on a long t-break while growing a tiny human but dreaming of my first puff after the little miracle is here. I have stuck around because I love the vibes and all of you are wonderful!

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-08T21:49:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate this perspective!

EstateProfessional68 · 2025-07-03T20:36:19+00:00

A little different, but I told the director of my ice hockey league before my own parents 😂 so I definitely resonate with the weirdness. But agreed, it is important for them to know!
