Maybe I can offer a different perspective on this whole debate. I have a brother who played since tyke, and this year, his 2nd in peewee (Division 1), the non hitting started and that didn't really change the fact there was hitting. Albeit slightly less, and kids were still getting hurt. That's why I'm kind of hesitant to say they should take it away at higher levels because it's just hurting them for the future when there really is hitting.
