I started skating when I was 3 and I think that is when you should start. You start playing in a league when you’re 4(not always but most of the time the leagues start at 4)

You can start skating with your child at age 1 or 2. Skating lessons start at age 2 though.

In Calgary, beginner hockey starts at age 4 which is the first sort of league.
Then tyke hockey is age 5-6
Novice is 7-8 and that is when it is more of a true league, rather than a parent/coach-aided game.

After they can walk they should be able to ice skate.
