What age group or size is the Mylec Jr. Hockey Set recommended for? I am looking for an introductory hockey set for a small 5 year old.

The net is great for a 5 year old but the sticks that come with it are wooden which makes them a little heavy. Personally I bought a pair of plastic sticks to go with it.

Hi Brenda, my son is 5 1/2 and has played with this for about 2 years now I believe. It is still in good shape and I think it would be great for a 5 y.o.

My son is five and he loves it! He and my husband play and have it set up in the house and at times it is used outside. Just our preference! It's a good buy!

Honestly, I would say its too small. Its a perfect size for my 18 month old. When my niece, who is three, comes over, it feels even a little small for her. I would look for a taller and larger set for a 5 year old.

My 5 year old got the medium and its a touch large so you will likely want to go with Small. Best thing you can do is go to a website called Hockeygiant and they list how to measure her head and what size fall under what helmet.

I think this set would be too difficult for a 3 yr. old. I haven't seen the Jr. set, but believe that would be a better choice for now. It is recommended for ages 5-15, so it should be challenging. Setting up the game as the cards show is quite a learning process in itself. You may need to help actually playing the game in the beginning. It is a great game and is sure to be enjoyed, if not now, later.

No, 6 is too young. I played with my nephews and nieces, the younger one is 7.5. He got the idea, but not fully. I'd wait at least one more year, if I were you.

Son was 18 months old when I bought my set. He was interested in looking at how the gears turn and keen in trying to turn and fix the gears. To actually play and fix the set think child need to be at list 2.5-3yrs old. But my son now , 20months, is trying to fix the set. Think is not bad hur?

The pucks are 2 inches in diameter aprox. It has been a year and my son still enjoys playing with it. Highly reccomend it.

Hi,The adult sizing is for a child 11years old and up. It depends on the size of the child. Play Moore Hockey

It would be great for 4 and 5 but might start to get small for them after about age 6. My daughter is 3 and it's great!

My five year old uses regular roller blades. I think he would out grow these to quickly if they even fit him. My three year old uses these and they are fine for him size 8. The boot slips out of the skate though and a but if a pain to put them on. We bought the roller blades for my 5 years old at target but I'm sure they have them on amazon.

The manufacturer recommends ages 3-8, however a previous reviewer said 4-10 in her estimation. I think it mostly depends on your kids' size and skill level. If they are over 8 but relatively small for their age, this set should work great. On the other hand if they are a tall/big kid for their age or they've grown in skill level and need a bigger kit, go for a different set.

I should have asked that question myself. They are the 2.5 inch pucks. They do last quite a bit, so the smaller size may be a good think if interested in variety.

Hi, All ages love this game. Five year olds are a little young, but they differ in concentration and maturity. My suggestion would be that the five year old be allowed to be on a team with one of the grownups the first time they try to play. You should explain to them that this is a grown up game so that they won't feel frustrated if they can't play. EnjoyMorah Judy

Ages 7 and up would be best. My 5 year old nephew tries to play, but it's pretty difficult for him.

This would be perfect for him. Our kids have had theirs for a year now and have used the heck out of them. This is a durable, great starter set for right and left handed kids. It's also fun to use an adult.
