I really think the earlier hitting is introduced to the game, the less risk to the player. Players can learn to adjust and find their role without a large difference in physical size.

The earlier that hockey players learn to keep their head up the better.

Keep in mind, I don't have a horse in this race. I don't have any children in minor hockey in Calgary.
