Take a stand against body checking at 'A' level hockey in the GTHL

by: Petra Greenbaum and Joanne Esakov
recipient: GTHL board

The GTHL is still deciding whether to continue with body checking in 'A' level hockey. Based on the evidence related to checking and concussions, and the overwhelming support of removing hitting at this level, we feel it is time to take a serious stand and draw a line in the sand.

Our kids' health and well being is at stake and no board should have the final say on increased risk of injury to their heads and brains. Collectively, we need to take a stand and insist that body checking should not continue at any level in 'A' hockey.

Sign this position now to let the GTHL know that you're opposed to body checking at the 'A' level.

Update #19 years ago

Thanks for your support - every signature counts! We need more signatures to ensure our voices are heard by the GTHL so they make the right decision to remove contact from all 'A' level hockey.

Please share this petition with other GTHL parents, coaches and friends and let them know it only takes a moment to sign.

Thanks!
Joanne and Petra
