I was always one of the smaller players, back when I played minor hockey so I can see where this kid is coming from. I quit playing after my first year of Bantam, but in my three years of contact hockey I never felt that I had been taught to hit or take a hit properly.

I remember doing those same drills, but it was more of getting used to contact than actully teaching it. I remember when we were taught to shoot or pass it was always taken down to basics, I can't say the same thing about hitting.
