  1. Body-Checking vsBody-Contact in Peewee Hockey

  2. Rule 604 • Prohibits body checking in the 12 & under classification as part of Progressive Checking Skill Development Program initiative that allows for greater body contact at younger levels and stricter enforcement of illegal body checks in checking classifications

  3. Two Primary Reasons #1 Reason - Player Development Sports Science tells us that 9-12 yrs old is the ‘Optimal Window of Skill Acquisition’ • Two more years of hockey development • Two more years of cognitive development • Two more years of physical maturation

  4. Two Primary Reasons #2 Reason - Player Safety/ Research Results “Among 11 - 12 yr old ice hockey players, playing in a league in which body-checking is permitted compared with playing in a league in which body-checking is not permitted was associated with a 3-fold increased risk of all game-related injuries and the categories of concussion, severe injury, and severe concussion”. From the research study by Carolyn Emery, ‘Risk of Injury Associated with Body Checking Among Youth Ice Hockey Players’

  5. Definition of Legal Body Contact • “Contact that occurs between opponents during the normal process of playing the puck, provided there has been no overt hip, shoulder or arm contact to physically force the opponent off the puck.” • Examples of legal and illegal body contact video

  6. When A Penalty Should NOT Be Called • Player establishes body position between the puck and the opponent using skating ability, balance or strength • Player maintains his/her established skating lane • Player angles the opponent into an opening too small • When incidental contact occurs as a result of playing the puck • A defensive player in front of his net may use his body position & strength to gain an advantageous body position on his opponent as long as he doesn’t use his arms or stick to create space or impede an opponents ability to move in a desired direction

  7. Legal: Angling/ Bumping

  8. Legal: D-Man Plays Puck-Carrier

  9. Legal: Contact Along Boards

  10. Legal: Net Front Play

  11. When A Penalty Should Be Called • Player intentionally plays the body with no intent to play the puck • Player uses hips, shoulder or arms in a violent or intimidating manner to knock another player off their skates, run them over or intimidate • Player leaves established skating lane to play the body instead of the puck • Player ‘finishes the check’ after playing the puck

  12. Illegal: No Attempt to Play Puck

  13. Illegal: Net Front Play

  14. Illegal: Finishing Your Check

  15. It won’t be easy, but it’s the right thing to do for ELITE player development & safety.

  16. Thank You Very Much For Helping Us Develop MORE, Better Players!!!
