Original Topic available for review: USA Hockey ratifies drastic body checking changes

Well, here we are folks, 2 months in. Lets get your opinions. How are the newly enforced checking rules working out for you?

Based on the existing rules that didn't change. USA hockey announced calls for checking would be enforced with a new stringent set of rules which would determine if physical body checking is legal or illegal.

It'd be nice to let the kids finish a game where the ref isn't calliing every single play where the kids make minimal body contact and the judgement is made because one of them fell down.

The decisions based on the outcome of a hit have to stop. I mean really most of the time it's kids who just don't like being hit who act like they got blown up. My guy gets a 2 and 10 and their guy who got hit is right back out the next shift. He just acted like he was dead for 5 minutes and now all of sudden there's no problem at all? Come on stripes get your shit together.

I like it so far and hope the refs keep calling the 2 and 10s. Itll make the kids think twice before they go barreling into defenseless players and injuries will go down. Keep up the great work refs!

THE ANSWER IS EASY. GET RID OF BODY CHECKING IN YOUTH HOCKEY! EVERYBODY FRUSTRACTION RESOLVED! IF REF MAKES CALL ON A HIT WITH NO BODY CHECKING THERE IS NO ROOM FOR INTERPRETATION!

Yeah, let’s do that. Actually, while we’re at it, why don’t we just go ahead and take all physical contact out of football too!

2 daughters in 2 weeks @ 19U level....2 & 10 for incidental contact.  AND when they went over to the opponent to check on them they were smiling, the ref asked if they are okay, they say "No".....you're out!  WTH ?!  So, in a brief exposure to the new enforcement of these rules has shown to us that it has led to more embellishment.

The hit from behind penalty has such a gray area. There has to be some responsibility on the player receiving the check to not turn into the boards. I see players that are stronger skaters hit a weaker skater and get a penalty because a player isn't strong on their skates. These issues get resolved with better coaching.

The 2 and 10 is a stupid rule.  At minimum it should be 5 min major and 10.  The 2 minute minor for a hit from behind or to the head is totally ridiculous.  My sons team took a too many men 15 seconds into a 2 and 10 pp and negated the power play.  Too many men, trip or any other minor penalty cancelling out a Hit from behind is just ridiculous.  If it was a 5 minute major,  coaches would do a better job teaching checking and take issue with kids hitting from behind when it puts the team down a man and unlimited goals could be scored.  It would be a game changer.   With that said, a clean hard hit shouldnt be a penalty Either which I see called because a kid gets drilled.  Its a physical game but the hits from behind and hits to the head have to be eliminated.  I wish this idea would get back to USA hockey

Solution:  Get USAH out of youth hockey. Instead of idiotic rule changes simply teach players to check properly from a young age. That way they  learn to properly check and be checked when they cannot do any real damage. By the time they are Bantams it’s just part of the game. Actual hits from behind and intentional blows to the head thankfully are rare. Far too many penalties are called for nonsense.  It’s a physical sport. If you don’t like the contact go try Cup stacking.
