I have to admit that I had to use an older player in a scrimmage once because I didn't have enough defenseman. I was honest and told the other team to make sure it was ok. I also told the player to take it easy on the boys and not play all out.

I would feel like a piece of crap if I were caught with an older player on my squad that I did not inform the other team about.

Especially if it is with a PAL team
