We were lucky to have Hockey Canada scout Wally Kozak on the webcast Saturday and during my interview with him he had a lot to say about the women's game in general. You can watch the archived interview HERE.
One thing that stuck out to me was Kozak's comments on body checking. He had just come from a scouting trip south of the border where he watching the NCAA women's hockey championship. He said the American game featured more body contact, not full body checking, but enough to get the tempo up and raise the level of competition.
Kozak suggested any move to allow more body contact in the CIS women's game would need to be accompanied by careful refereeing but it could be done. So I put the question out to the blog universe: should Canadian university women's hockey feature full body checking, more body contact or just keep the same rules?
