Hockey continues the tradition of dropping the puck to start periods, after goals, violations, out of play situations, etc. They could just as easily go to an AP arrow and give the puck to one of the teams behind the goal, but don't.
I like the "faceoff" many times during the game......especially when right after the puck hits the ice two guys start fighting!
