Yes, Bantam is the first age group where checking is allowed.

Your team will probably work on it in practice.

Answer 4

Ask someone involved in your league.

Answer 5

try going to their main office and asking or try asking your coach!

Answer 6

You really need to check your league.  In USA travel hockey, checking is first allowed at the Pee Wee level.  However, some rec leagues are entirely non-checking at any level, even Bantam.  

If this is your first year and your league is checking, you ought to go to a checking clinic so that you can learn how to deliver and receive checks the correct way to be both an effective player and not get hurt.
