There is no room in these arenas to hold 4 teams in the change rooms. Plus where do the extra players go that arent on the ice? 2 teams in one bench?

Stop changing the ice size these kids are never going to understand the concept and proper rules of hockey when they get out of house league

It's just way to crowded for them. These kids are big and some are quite fast already.

I can live with the half ice, it's the two teams in a dressing room and the crowded parking lots that bug me!

My step-son couldn't wait to get to 7/8 so he Could play full ice. He was bored with his previous rules.

Small ice appropriate for absolute beginners but not after a full season of playing on full ice.

This is a ridiculous rule and it should only apply to beginner hockey players at the tim bit level. LET THEM GAMES WITH FULL ICE.

This will be detrimental to children's development. Skating and common knowledge of the sport will suffer greatly. With these proposed changes my kid will not be playing in any hockey manitoba leagues till atom if even at all. It's a shame this is gonna kill children's futures in the sport.

Canada puts forward the best hockey players. Why is everyone trying to ruin sports. I don't even want to have kids for fear that they won't be able to enjoy winning and losing at sports so they can be prepared for what's to come. What people are trying to do with this participation award is a discrase to CAnadians and the human race.

I don't see any logic to changing what has been working.
