Ok you're quick to criticize, then how do you propose to implement?
I will say, that the data that is out there shows, this is the safer way to go about it.
Data shows:
Non-Contact PeeWee players in Quebec have fewer injuries compared to Contact PeeWee players in the rest of the country. Those same players as well, have the same rate of injury in Bantam both between contact, & non.
This ultimately, benefits the younger kids. Until we have data to compare with kids learning to hit in Atom, it's purely conjecture.
