@redpinkday Awesome! Thanks!

@AALEVK Nope you're not, there people who join in that age after just skating for fun, playing hockey and manage to go to the olympic.

@mihojc95 There is no age limit, just find the right club like the other comment said. Clara Hughes was a bid older when she made her first olympic in speed skating. Not sure if you want to reach the olympic.

I've played hockey for 7 years and I'm 12.. 5 years as a player and 2 years as a goalie.. I tried speed skating by just renting some skates and going to a local oval. But, I was wondering by the age of 12 if it was to late to join a club as a "second time sped skater". I've been skating since the age of two so I'm really good on my feet and fast. Well, Thank you.
