I call NANNY here. Sorry
There is non contact for those that wish to play the game and dance around and enjoy the game of hockey. If you want/allow your child to play rep, and he or she, wants to play rep, then let the game be played as it was meant to be.
I have seen my fair share of good hits and ugly hits. Lots of times the ugly hits are due to both teams not liking each other, not from knowing how to hit..
Contact is part of the game. If they allow this non contact, it,s going to be a problem. Players that think they can skate and free wheel with the puck, will get a rude awakening when they get their first good smack into the boards or in open ice.
I can see it now. Mother father are yelling in the stands,he tried to hurt my son/daughter.
LEAVE THE GAME ALONE.
This day and age sucks so bad.
Im just ranting here.
