Showtime, I am most interested in hearing your initial observations, please comeback and provide and update, or feel free to send me a PM. I am a somewhat curious bystander only because my son is a goalie and he is a second year pee-wee and I am somewhat convinced that his peer group of 2002's/2003's will be the first group to go thru minor hockey with no contact whatsoever (I beleive that the 2001's would ahve had one season of contact before the ban came into effect) - with the exception of the few that move on to quads. The hitting/no hitting rules will likely have a larger impact on next years tryouts as only the 2002's that play contact spring hockey will have exposure to contact.
trout, you are right about bullies/goons/idiots - you need to hope that the coaches will help those kids, but then of course there are coaches who are also idiots.......
