I played hitting both years in Peewee. The cut off was between Divisions 4 & 5 I recall.
One of the drills we practiced was the gauntlet. Your team mates stood a couple feet off the boards facing you in a line and you tried to skate through them. Sometimes it was gnarly, but then a respect started build with your team, that you're not trying to kill each other, but learn to shoulder them and learn to fight through the check.
