This season of 4 on 4 non contact will separate the good skaters and good hockey IQ kids from the rest of the pack. Should be really interesting to see how it all unfolds. Can't wait to see the sh*t storm of parents b*tching and moaning about their kids ice time!

4 on 4 no contact hockey is fun for Quest, but not a solution for regular season, may work for 14u and under, but any level higher than that, especially Tier 1, would be counter productive to player development, and organizations will have to figure out new player fees, very likely a total mess, PA teams already scheduling games in Ohio & WV

I believe FPP are good, but at 16 minutes, one 2 & 10 is going to put you over with the way the games are called, and PAHL refs love to give out the 2 & 10’s - in the 14u AA Major group I witnessed numerous 2 & 10’s that we’re not warranted, hockey is a contact sport, player safety is #1, but again hockey is a physical game, just because a kid gets blown up with a legal check everyone, including the refs want a 2 & 10.  Checking is a big part of the game when done correctly, and for the league to scare the players away from wanting to check because they will get penalized is wrong, sending the wrong message!
