Personally I think there should be hitting at all levels. Kids should be taught how to give and take a hit at a young age and when they're closer to the same size. I think there should be a mandatory hitting camp kids should have to go to before they start playing.
And there is a no-hit league option. It's called rec hockey. If you don't want your kids getting hurt, don't put them in a contact sport. It really annoys me when people put their kids in these sports (hockey, tackle football, etc.) and then complain. You know the risk when you sign up.
