@URkin110kyle @KINCourtHawkins Ya that is true, I think that some equipment like shoulder pads and elbow pads should be altered.

@URkin110kyle @KINCourtHawkins Skate blades,solid rubber pucks & sticks would cause more injuries if players wore less equipment.#kin110lab9

@URkin110kyle @KINCourtHawkins I think that hockey need good equipment though. #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@KINCourtHawkins Its a good idea, but couldn't this make players more passive and slow down the game? #kin110lab9

@Macceroni17 @kylapayette12 Do you think concussion rates would go down if these camps were mandatory for all participants? #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@Macceroni17 @kylapayette12 I don't think the hitting camps cause higher concussion rates. Many kids choose not to attend these camps.

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@kylapayette12 Hockey has always offered contact camps for younger kids that help with form even before they start hitting. #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@kylapayette12 I think they should learn the form at an early age so they can implement it later #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@cmccuskerKin110 I think it would be best before adolescence, this way most kids would be relative in size and strength. #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@meredithKIN110 Hockey has increased the age of which contact is involved and so far it has helped most kids learn the game. #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

Would it be smart to start the kids with non contact football like touch or flag? This way they could learn the game first. #kin110lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

Its smarter to enroll kids while they are young because the contact won't be as violent as contact in higher divisions. #Kin110Lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@meredithKIN110 Head injuries are inevitable in contact sports, parents have to understand the future risks of head injuries #Kin110Lab9

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

Definitely shouldn't be considered child abuse, football is a sport especially at a young age where accidents happen #kin110lab9

@KIN110UofR I understand intimidation but this is graphic and this wasn't the worst thing he has said in an interview. #devianceinsport

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@KIN110UofR Why did boxing allow their athletes to say these types of things in interviews? #devianceinsport

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

I have loved hockey all my life but some fans take things way to far. This is 2015, not the 1800's. #sportracism

@McgarryMica @KIN110UofR The system doesn't ensure a healthy lifestyle, some people could do if for a few months and just stop all together.

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@McgarryMica @KIN110UofR Healthy food is expensive but their are gyms in Regina offering memberships for only $10 a month

[Addison Meredith @meredithKIN110]

@McgarryMica @KIN110UofR Obesity is a choice, I feel like if people truly wanted to be healthy they would be,
