I am fortunate enough to have been invited by Hockey Alberta to serve as moderator for an interesting, and quite possibly emotional, forum discussion taking place tomorrow night as part of their Annual General Meeting.
The topic of
discussion… body checking. There has been no shortage of opinions
voiced both for and against Hockey Alberta’s, followed by Hockey
Canada’s, decision to eliminate body checking from pee wee hockey.
The bottom line is there’s no turning back. The decision has been made and the focus of tomorrow night’s forum will be on “what’s next.” Now that this change is being made, how do we (coaches, managers, officials, players, parents, etc.) move forward while also improving the game of hockey?
