Yes, the ones in Calgary and Edmonton that banned body checking. The contact leagues are also available for the children who play rep hockey. It is a good balance as the children who play at a higher level and may actually play elite hockey are in contact leagues. I am not sure if there are full contact rec leagues for the child who is unlikely to play pro but wants to risk long term concussion damage, that appears to be a gap in the system.
