Nice job by IHONC's Jim Bento and Chris Tonzi educating the Wolfpack PeeWee Majors, and the rest of the internet, on topics such as when the goalkeeper can and cannot cover the puck, attacking players and the goal crease, and stick contact with the goaltender. Chris did a really nice job explaining how to balance a coach's directive to play to the whistle with the rules about stick contact with the goaltender.

In the first episode of the series, Kevin Redding and Ryan Karabetsos field questions from members of the West Hartford Wolves PeeWee (12U) team, quiz the players on some game situations, and assist in an on-ice drill.

RULE CLARIFICATION TIME: Although USA Hockey has changed the name of the playing age groups starting this season, that does not affect the rules regarding who must wear mouthpieces. Mouthpieces are required only for the 12U (PeeWee), 14U (Bantam), 15 (new group), 16U (Midget), and 18U (Midget). The 10U (Squirts) and 8U (Mites) age groups are not required to wear mouthpieces. While a nine year old player is certainly under 12, under 14, under 15, under 16, and under 18, only the 10U rules apply to him/her.
