Thanks for your reply, it's great to hear an informed perspective. I like the idea of changing coaching strategies to have college women keep their heads up, other then being ready for contact that could lead to improved play making abilities.

Just a quick follow up question inspired by your reply, how much of a problem are parents at the minor level? Parents seems to be getting more aggressive/involved every year, do you think this is true? Do you have any idea why this is or how we can change it? Thanks again for doing this ama!

In your opinion does the no contact rule make the game safer for players? Given that female hockey players have the highest rate of reported concussion amongst all college athletes, do you think players are getting injured because they aren't ready for a hit? Would you like to see contact in woman's hockey or do you prefer it as is?

Thank you so much for doing what you do and inspiring the next generation. I love how strong our Canadian women are on the ice.

Oh I can imagine you've got a whole bunch of parent stories. That mom sounds too familiar, it's a shame that that kind of behaviour is almost expected. Thanks for your replies!
