Am I correct in saying that within the rules girls are allowed to play with the boys, but boys can not play with the girls?? Could be a simple answer...no-check girls hockey ( needs to be renamed----maybe "rec hockey") and check boys hockey (needs to be renamed-----maybe "advanced") Let the ones who want no check play rec hockey and those that want checking play advanced?
Just to be clear, the ban on bodychecking is at the rec and "select" levels. A, AA and AAA still have bodychecking from peewee up. Also, OHF does not govern all parts of Ontario. The HNO(Northwestern Ontario) and Ottawa Associations set their own guidelines.
Thanks thunder- I was wondering about that. Some times you get 1/2 the story. Canadians taking out checking at the Pee-wee level was hard for me to buy. I was sure there was more to the story.

It isn't just peewee but all levels right up to adult rec

SECOACH- No it makes no sense to me at all. Having kids not check while playing hockey is hard for me to understand. I still don't know why they took it out of squirts.

No problem. I just think if someone is either a strong proponent or opponent on an issue, they should spend some time looking at both sides if they expect to be taken seriously.

Further evidence to support the elimination of checking at certain levels of hockey - the impaired mental faculties of OG, HD41, and Pucksa. Little did we all know the proposed rule change is really designed to protect future grammarians.

Don't read it, learn it, and carefully consider it.......mock it.
Apparently you didn't click on the link and read the start of this string. The Canadians are NOT taking away hockey at our equivalent of the A and B levels; that was about removing checking at the rec level.
People have read what USAH has provided and disagree with it. Have you read, learned, and carefully considered what those individuals have written?
Not sure what the big deal is. The know-it-all guy/dad on my son's team got confirmation through a guy he knows who knows someone in the "know" that checking is not going to be removed. I know I feel better about the whole situation now.
SECOACH- I have read all the garbage from d-2 [my wife is on the fl board] our board has to vote sun. night. It makes no sense to me. I'm sorry if I disagree w/ you on this one. I feel we have plenty of rules already. They [refs] just need to make the calls. Thats where I stand! My kids will still play hockey, I just don't think it needs to be "fixed".
