How many kids have their brains 'scrambled' playing minor hockey? How many are debilitated? How many can't play with their kids in thirty years because of a concussion they suffered when they were 12?
I'm sure the number is more than zero, but I'm also sure it's substantially lower than the threshold required for us to really consider it a problem. It's a physical game. Nobody makes you play it. If you don't want to play in a contact league, there should be avenues available for that.
Most kids, however, seem to like playing contact hockey.
