  2. Overview • Introduction • Should Be Allowed • Shouldn’t Be Allowed • Video • What I Think • Class Discussion

  3. Introduction • Hockey Canada: (10 provinces, 3 territories) • Nine leagues start body checking at the Peewee level. (Ages 11-12) • Three allow body checking at the atom level (Ages 9-10) • Only one (Quebec) doesn’t allow body contact until the Bantam level (Ages 13-14)

  4. Should Be Allowed • Part of the game • Learn early, when not as strong • Habit of keeping head up • Competitive • Non checking leagues are still available at house level

  5. Shouldn’t Be Allowed • Not fully developed (Injury) • Co-ed • Basic skills (Skating, Positioning) • Less children involved • Fun

  7. What I Think • Agree with Quebec • Bantam Level (Ages 13-14) • Main Reasons why: - Safety - Development - Fun

  8. Discussion • If you were a parent, would you want your child playing in a hitting or non-hitting league? Why? • What do you think is better for the child’s future? • At what level do you think hitting should be introduced?
