Substantive? Well I posted Hockey Alberta's Long Term Player Development Model earlier. For this age group it very clearly states equal playing time. The LTPD comes down from Hockey Canda.

Where else would HA stand on this though? They could never come out and say "play to win", "shorten the bench". Not matter what team you are on though, playing two shifts a game is complete BS.
