it's been the third year this year since i stoped playing hockey and got back to skiing..

but now with college and all, idk why but i kind of feel desinterested by skiing and filming..

just want to know if it happen to you sometime and it will pass? or if i should start playing hockey next year?

(i'll just go to the gym for this year and start to go at the local ice) and since i would be junior next year (and it seems to be the greatest moment by far) it could be cool to make a come back! haha

so why not?

ps: i know i made a lot of mistake

I still do both, but my main focus is hockey and I couldn't be happier. It's a lot more work than skiing, yes, but I love it

Do whatever makes you happy. You can always try to do both!

You could just do both but not be as involved in them. Give each sport some space but still do them.

Quit skiing AND filming?
yea right
Skiing and Filming are the best things ever and if you dont feel that way then you should have never gotten into them.

hockey = too competitive and hockey boys tend to be douche bags

Do things that will make you happy.

It's a pretty easy motto to live by, and who says you can't ski in the future when you're given a chance?

My minor hockey association killed my motivation to have anything to do with them. They constantly double book ice times, think that the midget house age group still needs practice, and is overly competitve. Probably doesnt help that the team I played for a few years back got caught up in a scandal because the fucks who run the association wouldnt follow Hockey Canada's rules.

if you are disinterested in something then cut back. it may seem hard, especially if skiing if something that you've done for a long time. it becomes a habit, as well as something you enjoy. when you stop enjoying it and your only going through the motions, change it up. thats what i did

but actually, do what ever you want.. why do you want people on the internet to tell you what to do?

Most people who care about doing well in college either stop caring about expensive sports that won't get you really anywhere in life - can't take a shot at golfm which gets you places - or ski but don't party. It happens, so focus on doing as well in school as you can.

This.
I realize I could ski all I want while I'm in college and get shit grades, or I could deal with not getting many days in have good grades.
Skiing is a hobby for me not a lifestyle and I think I'm just starting to get old enough where I realize that.

team sports are for kids that aren't skilled/insane enough to dedicate themselves to adrenaline sports.

Doing both is simple and easy! Just acquire a few things! 1.) East Coast Mountain. 2.) Sharpened edges on skis. 3.) Hockey Stick and Puck. 4.) Friends who are willing to play hockey with you on skis. 5.) Any landing or the summit. Ice Coast skiing yo.

Just do whatever you want, I quit hockey a few years ago too and I don't regret it. It does suck because hockey starts before ski season and I do miss it, but when ski season hits I wouldn't want to be playing.

The thing is, if you decide to join a team you have a commitment to them. If you decide you don't want to play anymore, you let your team down, which sucks because you'll most likely devolope relationships with team mates. Also if you do get a season pass and don't want to ski you waste a lot of money.

Really though it's up to you, do what you want.

Those children tend to play sports that require one ball, instead of awesome sports that require two.

I played team sports from 5th grade on through graduation. I'm allowed to point out the fact that team sports are a fucking bore
