End game is not pretty. My ex wife didn't do any fitness stuff at all and she's walking with a stick while I'm doing 30km hikes at 3000m...

Hell, I fell off my bike from a stop a few weeks ago, and landed on my knee, and it took a week and a half before I felt like I could trust my leg to hold weight.
Hockey does have risks of course, but playing in a non checking league takes the risk down to manageable levels in my opinion.
Check and see if your local rink has an intro to hockey class and use that to get a feel for hockey.
Whatever you do my advice is if it's high impact join the 'old man's league'. They better understand everyone's limits.
It is a tough sport and one bad day grappling or boxing and I'm in pain for weeks which limits training. It's not a easy sport to do half-way.
