There are things that come up on the agenda every year and don't go anywhere. That said, this would be a disaster. If anything, checking needs to be moved back to Pee Wees and some would even say Squirts. Checking is a skill just like skating, stickhandling, and shooting and is one that should be taught from a young age, how to deliver a proper check and how to protect yourself and receive a proper check. I guess Johnny Toe Drag will soon be making an appearance at the Bantam level now. Some think 10 year olds should be checking? Geez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think it should be at the peewee level. What gets me is I currently coach peewees and do in the spring and summer too. The team I coach in the winter obviously can’t check but once we get into spring and summer tourneys they can. Doesn’t make sense. I do teach my team how to hit and take a hit so they are ready for it but shouldn’t it either be able to check or not across the board?

Checking being taken out of the game is as much on the coaches as anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They already do allow body contact. Bantam and up is considering body checking, where peewee and below is considered body contact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's where it gets ugly. Very few know the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I coach at the peewee level and teach both contact and checking. My players know the difference. With refs in high demand I often have kids reffing our games. It's actually comical at what they call and don't call. Oh and that goes for adult refs too but not in that degree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND1983 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 This conversation is peak hockey-guy. Advocating for checking at the 10-12 year old level, like it makes a f-king difference in the long run. Work on creating a free flowing skating type of game vs checking & mukin it up at the squirt level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OgieOgilthorpe Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Although this GFC team is unreal and probably the best ever in ND history, I highly doubt they will match the feat of the 04 Central team (02, 03 or 04?) that went the entire tournament without getting scored on. They lost a few games that season, but that's a pretty impressive feat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scpa0305 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Checking will be gone pretty soon. The younger you teach it the better they’ll be adapting to it when they’re older. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no clue what I do behind the bench bud. After every game when I go to shake the young refs hands I let them know what they did well and what they need to look for. Everyone is appreciative of it too. But yeah I’m ignorant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy who has been around the game for as long as I have letting, say a 14 year old on giving him a few pointers is a bad thing? Alrighty then. Oh and I’m always open to suggestions when it comes to coaching. The game has changed a ton since I first coached long ago so I’m always looking and listening to new ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bantam and up is considering body checking, where peewee and below is considered body contact. Ok, let me preface this by saying I need to remember I am on a NoDak message board. I have taken teams all over the place for tournaments. In NoDak and northern Minnesota, body contact at the Pee Wee level is dang near full on checking. When you get to the Cities things get called a little bit tighter but still pretty failry allow contact. You get into Southern Minnesota and even less contact is allowed. Go over to Wisconsin or down into South Dakota, Iowa or Missouri and if you even breathe or look cross ways at the opponent and they fall down you will get called for a "checking" penalty. Body contact rules are not applies evenly across different areas of the country, is the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
