not surprised, but it will be interesting to see/compare:
- the cost of his league to Brandon Minor Hockey Association (BMHA - or whatever they are called)
- Not sure how many teams are currently in Brandon, but if his league only has 5 teams, I wonder if the skill level across the team would be wider than you might expect (i.e. two kids who can wheel and three ankle benders) compared to a typical BMHA team (I have no insight into how they set up teams)
- wonder if the insurance company will use this as a chance to jack up insurance rates compared to what they have historically charged

other funny thing is that it is the parents deciding if they want little johnny to play contact - or course little johnny wants to play contact becasue kids see themselves as the one dishing out the hit - maybe johnny changes his mind about contact hockey after he gets smoked.....then what
