yeah the dressing rooms will be a mess with a load of parents players and coaches in there. I was wondering how they will handle the benches - or do the kids just stand on the ice waiting their shift?. What about penalties?

seems to me that it is a good idea, as for some kids skating up and down all 200 feet of ice is like 200 miles.

does half ice games mean that these kids will get more games in per season? as I am assuming that almost all of their practices are half ice.
Don't believe that would be the case. Hockey Calgary has already capped the number of games at the Novice level at 25 per season. Refer to page 4 below. Novice is supposed to be about developing skills and the rationale is skill development occurs at practice, not during games.
