If Canadians wanted to learn something from European hockey, it's not the lack of hitting that they should be incorporating. It's the techniques they use to developp skills like skating, stickhandling and shooting. The kids can hit, there are even leagues where you can play without getting hit, but skills need to be taught better. It doesn't have to do with hitting as much as the lack of proper coaching. That and the system play is killing the fun in hockey, let the kids be creative.
