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.

fair enough but 90% of kids are playing hit hockey when less than one percent of them will ever play hockey at the college/pro level where hitting is actually important. I think more options is what is needed the whole system is setup to produce high level hockey players and its turning people away trust me. Look at the population growth vs. hockey enrolment numbers
