yes you should. It is hard enough to score in hockey. When you play a team and the association declared them at the wrong level...Why should you back off. Score at will and have fun.

I think that's a fabulous idea. Pound on a bunch of inferior kids because a month before the kids even hit the ice for tryouts their parents overestimated how the team would perform - or because their level of play fits well in their district, but they're struggling in a tournament. How much fun is it for a kid to score his team's 25th goal?

How else is little Johnny going to make his scoring bonus? and impress the scouts that are looking at squirt point totals? :wink:
