[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP-thanks for asking!  I had this question too.  So, can a 10-y.o. show up alone with his own stick and puck and full equipment and just practice on his own, and be open to playing with others?[/quote]

Yes- it is essentially a public skate, but with hockey equipment, sticks, and pucks.  Some people do their own thing, while some form teams and have a scrimmage.  [/quote]

You're technically not supposed to scrimmage during stick and puck. Most rinks are pretty strict about this rule as it can be dangerous for those who do not want to play or do not have the skills to scrimmage.[/quote]

Every stick and puck I have ever been to has kids scrimmaging.  Usually they stay on one half of the ice, and it is a really laidback game with many skill levels.  For instance, when I was there a few weeks ago, there was a high level juniors player and what looked like a few B level players, and a bunch of kids in between.  Perhaps scrimmage is not the most accurate term-  everyone plays, and there is mostly a lot of passing around and some shooting on net.[/quote]
