Answer 5

I don't know how it is in Edmonton, but I live in San Jose, CA and we have an adult league (18+) and the advanced levels are full contact but the lower levels are not.

Answer 6

They are dwindling in number rapidly because of the concerns  about injury.  There are still a few around though it will take some searching.  One suggestion is to start looking for individual players interested in playing full-contact in your area.  If you can find enough players interested, you would need in the range of 40 to 50 to start with, take the idea to your local rinks.  One of them will start something up if there is a demand for it.

Answer 7

I have heard they are very rare . Very rare. There may be some in Michigan If I remember correctly. But the insurance cost for the rinks is getting too high and that may well be a thing of the past.
