I've joined non-contact leagues before and don't enjoy it mostly because there was no contact. I'm not asking to be able to run over guys, but as a defenseman, being able to lean on a guy without him crumbling like Ryan Kesler would be nice.
But this is getting off-topic, I think I've clearly shown where I stand on this issue. I'll probably e able to join a league in a couple years after I'm sick of seeing my kids getting checked from behind/boarded/elbowed consistently because none of them have a clue what those things are.

Which club are you coaching? Flames/Northstars/Buffs/Royals?
Small community, I'm sure we know the same people.
Few more points:
I'm quite surprised as a coach of players in the AA program, you weren't first privy to the proposed rule changes within the organization & secondly, why you're disagreeing with hard data?
What's causing your disagreement? You mention seeing your players not handling the physicality --- do you propose starting the hitting earlier? Based upon what?
