USA Hockey ratifies drastic body checking changes
Guest:
My son is a first year Bantam player and now that we are 2 months into the season, my observation is the kids aren't being taught how to correctly check. Aside from that, they aren't being corrected and yes the refs are sometimes inconsistent. While the inconsistency from refs will always remain, the corrections on how to properly check can be corrected. It's not just the checking from behind it's also way too many kids lifting their hands and/or elbows into the heads of their opponents.

Just another instance of a USAH solution in search of a problem. Amazing youth hockey survived all these years without this idiotic rule.
