How does playing full ice with normal hockey rules hurt a Mite age player????I do agree as with my previous posts that small ice games are a very good supplement, but I still firmly believe it has to be a balance, and not one or the other, and yes I am bashing my own association because they believ...

**Is this kid a spring birthday (doesn't July 1st covers ~90% of summer birthdays)? Do ALL the kids in this association end up playing JV/V after bantams?
