If played correctly, with hustle, and with heart, hockey will teach a player how to work with a team, how to work hard to achiesve something, and how to get up after a brutal hit. Hockey can also condition players legs, core, and upper body. A player will also come away from their hockey career knowing how to throw a wicked punch, which can come in handy.

In these regions, especially in Canada, hockey has a very long history. Hockey was first played in Canada over 100 years ago and there are very few Canadians, male and female, who haven't played hockey at some level. So hockey is ingrained in the culture of these areas.

In fact, I live in a small Canadian town and I don't know anyone of any age who can't skate!!

You can simply apply to the college and hope to get accepted and make the hockey team. Otherwise to get a hockey scholarship, it is best to play on a Junior A team that has a good record in order to have University Hockey scouts come watch the Junior A games. Most Junior A teams have University scouts watch games, but only stand out players will be approached by the scouts.
That means new players come on the ice and the ones that were on the ice go to the bench while the puck is still in play.
