the game of hockey involves checking, should we request that NHL level players stop checking? How do you start eliminating parts of the game at whatever level? Whether they are headed to the Chel or going to rock a beer league in future, trying to decide what age these kids start to learn how to ‘grind’ it out is the question here, I think anyhow, and it should be younger not older as they can do far less damage figuring it out at a 100 pounds soaking wet than they can when there is a great difference size wise and get to heavier weights where more damage can happen (which is the case with Bantam aged boys currently).

I know quadrant hockey doesn't start until bantam, my sentence wasn't clear, what I meant is, I'd be all for quadrant hockey starting in pee wee (i.e. lowering it) and allowing those kids to hit.
