It always seems like that...It feels like when I was a Peewee/squirt I was much bigger than all of the kids now, but then I see pictures and it really awes me of how much things can change.

I think that smaller players are the way of the future. Quick feet and good hands. There are not many tall players that have the the speed of their hands and feet. I think the new line of enforcement will bring a size change to the game as the bigger players can no longer slow down the the small players.

I dont think size will have much to do with it - big or small it will still come down to natural talent and hard work and what kind of committment a kid has.

I think younger kids are moving up to squirts early and may account for the smaller size.
