Bodychecking in youth hockey: When is it safe to allow?

Coach opinion on it...
"The fact is that the vast majority of concussions, and hockey injuries overall, at all levels of play, are caused by legal bodychecking. As far as bodychecking is a part of ice hockey, a high rate of concussions will also be a part of hockey. The safest option is to eliminate body checking altogether from Youth Hockey."

What do you think?
