USA Hockey Checking Manual

I know there have been many questions about whether body checking will be allowed at the Pee Wee level in the EHF this year.  My understanding, as of right now, is that it will. 

USA Hockey has published a body checking manual that may be helpful.  As coaches, we are going to go through the process of preparing the kids in practice for body contact this season.  I figured I would post the link to the manual here because it may also be helpful for you to take a look and go over some things with your kids.  I know that some kids learn better by seeing it in print.

The link is below.

Marlboro Tournament Schedule Change

The tournament in Marlboro this weekend had a team drop out at the last minute.  That caused some minor changes in our schedule.  Friday and Saturday remain the same. 

Sunday morning's game will be either at 8:10am or 8:30am depending on which place we finish in.  The tournament finals will be held at 12:50pm on Sunday.
