Throughout the NHL history the average age of rookie playing his first NHL game has been between 22 and 23 years. SOURCE: http://www.quanthockey.com/Distributions/RookieAgeDistribution.php
You must be drafted by a team at the age of 18-20 unless you are from a euro team then there is no age limit.
Pittsburgh penguins
Detroit was the oldest at around 30 average age, Chicago the youngest at an average of 25...and the average age for all the teams really is about 27-28. Most teams are a good mixture of veterans in their late 20s-early 30s, real young guys in late teens, early-to-mid 20s, and established players in their 20s usually. Most players don't become established until that average age of 27-28.
25-35 is average age of the Pakistan cricket team.
