This is exactly what happened the other night...although it was a rookie HC not partners. I call an IF for contact above the shoulders and the HC naturally questions it. I explain the rule and he says he's never seen it..."show me that in the book then" I go in at half and scour the book...nothing. Me and my partners all thought we had been dreaming! I'll have to start carrying a library or old rule books with me in the future.
