CHARLOTTETOWN -- The game of hockey will soon change for peewee-level players across the country after a vote by Hockey Canada on Saturday that banned bodychecking. Hockey Canadas board of directors overwhelmingly voted to eliminate bodychecking for peewee players at its annual general meeting in Charlottetown on Saturday, with only the Saskatchewan Hockey Association voting against. The decision comes in the same month that both Hockey Alberta and Hockey Nova Scotia did away with bodychecking for its peewee players, who are usually 11 and 12 years old. Quebec had also previously banned it. Debate over when to allow players to start hitting has inflamed emotions on both sides of the argument for years. But research that came out of Alberta last year showed there was a three-fold increase in the risk of injuries for peewee players who check in Alberta, compared to those in Quebec where bodychecking is not allowed until bantam. Paul Carson, vice-president of hockey development for Hockey Canada, said safety was a key factor in the boards decision. He said reaction at the meeting was mixed, but most thought it was the right move. "While some would be reluctant because of their traditional beliefs of the game, they also understood that the safety and the area of skill development were critical issues to consider," said Carson on Saturday. Kelly McClintock, general manager of the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, maintains that bodychecking is a skill that should be taught to children as young and eight and nine. "Our membership has always been very strongly in favour of having bodychecking as early as possible," he said. "Its always been a pretty emotional discussion." He said the association was disappointed, but not surprised that the motion passed. The changes will take effect in the upcoming 2013-14 hockey season, which begins in September. Hockey Canada said the board has agreed to develop a bodychecking standard for coaching, to be implemented in the 2014-15 season. But McClintock says thats putting "the cart before the horse." "For us it was probably a little bit more of a concern over the process, that it happened very quickly in the last three weeks to a month," said McClintock. "I think we have to look at the process that we follow when were going to do something like this." Halifax Mooseheads coach Dominique Ducharme, who is in Saskatoon for the MasterCard Memorial Cup, noted that 11- and 12-year-old kids can vary drastically in size. "The more the players at a younger age can work on their skills, beside wondering about getting body checked and body weight and height difference, I think maybe (in) the long run it might just help develop players with even better skills," he said. But Mooseheads forward Stefan Fournier said bodychecking teaches players an important aspect of the game at an younger age. "When youre a peewee hockey player the games not as fast. It teaches you to learn to keep your head up when youre skating around. That kind of stuff does limit head injuries," said Fournier, a day before hitting the ice at the Memorial Cup final against the Portland Winterhawks. "The games fast and if you have your head down for a split second you can get caught." By Aly Thomson in Halifax and Joshua Clipperton in Saskatoon Fake Avalanche Jerseys .

Anthony Davis had 31 points and 17 rebounds in his seventh straight game with more than 20 points, but that was only enough to keep the Pelicans competitive into the final minutes. Andrew Bogut had 10 points and 15 rebounds for Golden State, which rebounded from a loss a night earlier in Oklahoma City and snapped a two-game skid. You hear this a lot when it comes to setting your roster during the playoffs of the fantasy football season: Start your studs. Dont overthink it. Dance with the ones who brought you there, metaphorically speaking. In Week 14, two of the true studs in fantasy football this season, Chargers running back Melvin Gordon and Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones, either had their Sunday cut short because of injury (Gordon) or saw it end before it even began because of injury (Jones). Its not often that waiver-wire adds entering Week 15 can be difference-makers for your team, but injuries can lead to opportunity.The next players up for those respective roles are among the names to note in the Week 15 ESPN Fantasy wavier-wire column.Note: All players who appear in this column are owned in less than 50 percent of leagues on ESPN.com.Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets (37.2 percent). Perhaps at some point this offseason Ill take the time to scroll through each version of the waiver-wire column, as my guess for the player who appeared on it most frequently is Powell. Well, expect him to bolt past the 50 percent barometer after a 29-carry, 145-yard, two-touchdown effort in Week 14. Matt Forte left the game early because of a knee injury and the Jets are in evaluation for the future mode. If Forte doesnt return this season, Powell is a top-20 running back the rest of the way and a must-add.Kenneth Farrow, RB, San Diego Chargers (0.5 percent). The undrafted free agent out of Houston took over as the workhorse for San Diego following Gordons early injury, toting the football 16 times for 55 yards while adding six catches for 23 yards. We dont yet know how much time Gordon will miss due to a hip injury, but with three games left in the season and virtually no shot at the playoffs, San Diego might elect to take the long view and not rush him back. Farrow is a must-add in all-size leagues.Kenneth Dixon, RB, Baltimore Ravens (45.8 percent). The Ravens rookie impressed on Monday night, totaling 19 touches for 81 yards and a touchdown. Hes a tackle-breaker who is adept in the passing game (eight catches in Week 14). He does not have the starting job unto himself in Baltimore, but he looks like their most well-rounded option. Hes an add for anyone who needs running back depth, and he has increased value in a points per reception league.Ty Montgomery, RB/WR, Green Bay Packers (34.9 percent). By the eye test, the best running back on the Packers roster is Montgomery, who found the end zone in Week 14 and has earned the right to stay involved going forward. Of course, Montgomery carries multi-position value (he remains eligible as a wide receiver) and should be added for any owner in need of a potential fill-in at either spot. Although he has moved into a running back role, Montgomery has at least two catches in eight straight games (including 10 catches in consecutive games in the final games of October for Green Bay). Hes a useful option in PPR scoring.Dontrelle Inman, WR, San Diego Chargers (27.0 percent). Another regular in this column, Inman just keeps on keeping on for the Chargers receiving crew. He has scored a touchdown in three straight games and has maintained a steady role throughoutt the season; he leads the team in wide receiver snaps and has at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown in seven of his past 10 games.dddddddddddd Hes an add who merits flex consideration for anyone in a 12-team or larger league.Pierre Garcon, WR, Washington (43.8 percent). If you play in a points per reception league, Garcon might be long gone. But if for some reason hes available, act swiftly to pick him up. The ultra-reliable wideout has 34 grabs over his past six games and found the end zone in Week 14. Washington is going to throw it a ton and next hosts Carolina in Week 15. There isnt a matchup on the remaining schedule that scares you. In a deeper league, Garcon is a PPR starter. In a 12-team league, hes on the flex radar.Marqise Lee, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (6.7 percent). A bright spot during a downtrodden Jacksonville season, Lee has made his mark in this offense. He has at least 50 receiving yards or a touchdown in five of the past six games and is coming off a five-catch, 113-yard effort in Week 14. Lee is a former second-round pick who has put it together this year and is a worthwhile flex consideration in a league with 12 or more teams.Dwayne Washington, RB, Detroit Lions (5.8 percent). Theo Riddick was a surprise scratch in Week 14, so one could expect him to be back this Sunday, while Zach Zenner departed the teams last game with an apparent injury. Until we know for sure that either could play in Week 15, Washington is a speculative deeper-league add for a desperate owner in need of a running back. He led the team with 16 carries in Week 14 and could continue to be the lead back this Sunday against the Giants.Robby Anderson, WR, New York Jets (1.6 percent). We wrote about Anderson last week as a stash player in keeper leagues, and that sentiment holds true this week if you are looking ahead to 2017. But if you are still in the playoffs and in need of a volume flex option, Anderson fits. He has 10 catches for 160 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets over the past two games, staying busy as the Jets passing game tries to find its footing with Bryce Petty under center. Hes a risk-reward play for those in a deeper league.Jermaine Gresham, TE, Arizona Cardinals (12.4 percent). The tight end position has been so incredibly unpredictable this season, especially with injuries to Rob Gronkowski and Jordan Reed (the latter of which limited his production in Week 14). So if youre in need of a fill-in whose floor has risen in recent weeks, Gresham is a worthwhile consideration. He has five catches in three straight games and two touchdowns in that same span.Matt Asiata, RB, Minnesota Vikings (44.0 percent). The pickings are slim on the waiver wire at this time of the year, so there will probably be some Melvin Gordon or Matt Forte owners who are unable to grab the aforementioned backs on this list. Asiata doesnt have a ton of upside -- he hasnt surpassed 55 rushing yards in a game this season -- but he has a touchdown in three of his past four games. If you need a plug-in back and miss on other options, keep Asiata on the radar. ' ' '
