My 11 year old wants to start hockey so I've been trying to get an idea of where to start. I'm in the valley and found Valley East Minor Hockey - is this a good starting point if he hasn't played before and isn't a very strong skater?

Or should I try signing him up for skating lessons or something?

Obviously not trying to get him in rep, just house league but I assume he'll be behind every other kid there in terms of skill and skating.
