Concussions in Minor Hockey

This is a link to an article in the Toronto Star ww.thestar.com/sports/article/1296712--body-checking-should-be-banned-from-minor-hockey-to-cut-concussions-neurosurgeon
 Please read it and let me know what you think.  It is my opinion that bodychecking should be removed from Minor Hockey in order to reduce the number of concussions. I was recently told by a concussion specialist, that concussions incurred at earlier ages - such as Peewee, can lead to more easily getting concussions later in life, and more severe concussions.  So how can we let bodychecking continue?  Please comment, or at least read the article.
