How Young Is Too Young?

           Across Canada, hundreds of minor hockey athletes above the peewee level, receive head injuries from dangerous hockey plays everyday. Brian Taylor, 54, has played hockey all his life. Admittedly being a a grinder when he was young, Brian believes the game has made a change for the worse. Currently, Brian coaches his sons peewee hockey team in Calgary. Hockey Canada has imposed a rule change that makes hitting not allowed in house hockey or anything below bantam. The debate is, being introduced to hitting at a young age will reduce injuries that occur at a higher level; where kids are bigger and stronger, and the hits are heavier.
