North Central Montana/ SW Sask | Checking starts in bantam.
But they were crazy about any contact in peewee and squirts. Thankfully, USA Hockey has adapted that now and there is more contact at the younger levels than there used to be a couple of years ago.
I think part of the frustration is the different enforcement by officials in different states. This just highlights the need for kids to learn early how to take a check, because in some states ,even in the young years, it is full contact.
