- As a bantam hockey player and a 14-year-old who has had a concussion I think that taking hitting out of minor hockey altogether is idiotic. This problem began when hitting was taken out of peewee. This caused kids with different hitting experience playing against each other increasing injuries. Kids playing bantam hockey were getting concussions because of this problem but the answer is not to take out hitting out altogether. We need to put hitting in at a younger age where kids can learn to hit safe and take a hit safely. This would teach kids to be more responsible and to use hitting to seperate the man from the puck and not to kill the kid. I realize there will always be a child that does not want to play hockey because of hitting that's why there is designated non-hitting leagues in Bantam. Taking hitting out of hockey is a mistake and it's ruining hockey. Please help me fight to bring hitting back into hockey. Please sign this petition and share with your friends so together we can make hockey great again!!!

Hockey is a contact sport. These kids are reaching bantam age with zero clue how to protect themselves. Bring back hitting so they learn to play the right way before they get to midget and get seriously hurt.
