We want to clear up a rumour that has been circulating that there isn't any body checking in Peewee this year. You may have read a story in the paper or heard it on the radio that the Ontario Hockey Federation has removed bodychecking in house league and rec hockey. But the Ontario Hockey Federation is not our governing body – ours is Hockey Northwest Ontario (HNO). There is still body checking in our association, in fact in all associations governed by HNO until such a time that HNO decides to change it
In fact, our Development Weekend, which is scheduled for this upcoming weekend, has mandatory classroom and on ice sessions teaching body checking to all Peewee and Bantam players. Make sure your child attends if they are in Peewee or Bantam. Schedule is posted under Development Weekend
