My son is playing "real" hockey for the first time. He's taken some learn to play hockey courses, and of course skating with school, but this is the first time on a team. We're with Mississauga Hockey League(Novice) He got his first point this weekend, an assist and we're both over the moon about it. He's on the small side but still mucked it out in the boards.
Cool, congrats. Where does he play in the MHL? My son started with Clarkson and then went to Meadowvale for minor novice.
Someone mentioned contact being allowed at 8-9? I think I was told his was no contact. Does it vary between house and rep?
Yes, contact at minor atom (8/9 year olds) only starte for rep hockey (A, AA and AAA) in houseleague it doesn't start until later. I think bantam.
AFAIK Ontario is the only province/state in north America where contact starts that early. Evertwhere else it starts at pewee.
