In bantam though I can yell much more frequently if they boys aren't giving a good enough effort.

I agree generally with the no need to talk to a coach, and this is my 8th year as a USA Hockey official. If a coach is screaming at me, I feel no need to go and talk **** from him while I give an explanation. If a coach asks nicely, I'm more inclined to explain something.

Lil les had a coach when he was a 2nd yr mite that screamed so loud you could hear him outside the rink, not even in the lobby. He also shot pucks at the kids, with good aim, full force, that left marks. He did this once to lil when he was trying to explain something and lil asked for clarification cos he didn't understand. Dropped the F-bomb in the middle of a game on my kid and benched him telling him he (lil) knew what he did wrong. To this day lil has no idea what he was doing wrong. Mr. les had a little chat with the guy after the F-bomb event as I heard it from across the ice and was livid. Needless to say they didn't let him coach little kids again after that yr. Funnily off the ice he was an easy going, funny guy.

Is this an illegal hit?

Some think its the classic hit to the guy receiving the "buddy pass". I don't like it. The player is leading with the arm, not the shoulder, and is the check separating the player from the puck or the player from his head?

Or, am I off base??

Illegal. If not it should be.
