girls playing down

Recommended Posts

I coach a 14U team and we have five girls. There's a raging debate on whether a girl, who is a 15yo, can play with peewees or even squirts. They feel they can. I thought USA Hockey allowed only dropping one age division for girls. However, I can't find the policy or the rule. Can someone help me out here. It's petty but I'm tired of the arguing.

I don't see any age dropping in the rules either. 

The 15 year old girl should be on an under-16 team. I'm guessing there is no all-female or mixed under-16/bantam team in your area and she might be at a physical disadvantage as 15 and 16 year old boys can check harder than the 13 and 14 year old boys.
