Hockey weight
Question
QUESTION: Hi im a 13 year old girl and i currently weigh 104 pounds is this a right weight to play ice hockey?.
i'll really aprreciate an answer
THANK YOU.
ANSWER: Hi Eden,
It would depend on your height and how physical you are or the league you're in I think. If you get bounced around a lot, then I suggest you look for a strength program and talk to a someone about nutrition to "bulk" up. Other than that I cannot tell you yes or no.

Answer
Hi Eden
I am sorry, I do not think I can answer that question for you. Women's ice hockey is the only sport I've seen girls at all sizes and shapes play and perform well (or not) at those heights and weights. To give you an idea, when I played in college and w/ the US team I weighed 140 pounds and I am also 5'2"! That's what happens when you workout, you bulk up.
