They will try to justify it, trying to make people believe that their kid doesn’t have an advantage over the younger kids. When normal people hear these holdback parents trying to justify it, we roll our eyes or laugh to ourselves. We say these people are pathetic.

What's pathetic is when someone continuously post that 8 year olds are playing against 6 year olds. This is a total fabricated lie & does not happen. A kid must be really terrible for someone to use this lying excuse.


Easy there holdback dad ! Just cause your holdback son may only be one year older than his teammates doesn't mean that there isnt some players out there two years older. It is not as prevalent as 1 year older hockbacks, but they are out there. Now relax, and get back to your holdback playing down.

How about a cut off date of June 30th - which is the end of the school year . This could be a start to the hold back debate.
