USA Hockey and its infinite wisdom talk a lot about development throughout their curriculum. However, for kids playing Youth Hockey, the levels are split by birth year only- instead of the month AND year the child was born (kinda like the kindergarten cutoff rule). Wouldn't it be beneficial for the player to be a part of a team and thus playing against kids that are on similar development schedules- like in the classroom? Other sports go by the kindergarten cutoff rule for their programs for equal player development, why not hockey too?
