A new independent online poll conducted by Insightrix Research Inc. suggests that a majority of Saskatchewan residents are in favour of Hockey Canada’s recent decision to remove body checking in peewee and lower levels of hockey.
Specifically, 63% of Saskatchewan residents either strongly support (44%) or somewhat support (19%) the removal of body-checking in peewee-level hockey and lower levels. However, nearly one quarter (23%) of Saskatchewan residents oppose the decision, either somewhat (12%) or strongly (11%). Four percent are unsure and the remaining 10% have no opinion on the matter.
Opposition to the ban is stronger among males, who are twice as likely (30%) to oppose the decision as females (15%). Meanwhile, those who currently have children or have had children play at the peewee level are twice as likely (38%) to oppose the ban when compared to those who have never had kids play at this level (19% oppose).
Research Details A total of 803 randomly-selected SaskWatch Research™ panel members from Saskatchewan participated in the online research study between the dates of June 11th and 13th, 2013. Quotas were set by age and gender to match the general population of the province. As the research is conducted online, it is considered to be a non-probability proportion sample and therefore, margins of error are not applicable.
