Heads down=more concussions for sure. Theo also went on to say that minor hockey coaches are teaching too many systems and not enough skills. Valid point, IMO.

Definitely a valid point. There is no reason to learn about systems even at the Peewee 1 level yet, skill development should still be the number 1 priority. Until you get into higher level Bantam hockey should systems begin to be introduced, and even then should be just a supplement to skill development.
