I carry 2 white ones. One on my belt and small aux. on in my pocket. In Ohio, we are required, by the state, to have our rule books available in case of a coaches conference. We care a fanny back that we have the chain crew hold. Besides the rule books we have tape, a double hook (in case the chain breaks), extra pencil, whiste and bean bag. The chain crews can wear it and it's a great ice breaker with those guys as well.
Are you actually required to have the rulebook on the field?? To me this seems to be asking for trouble. I used to officiate ice hockey, and during a game the coach questioned my partner's rule knowledge (for the record, my partner was correct). I forget the exact circumstance, but it was a rule that required knowledge of several defintions. My partner whips out the book and the coach quickly reads just the rule, not knowing the precise defintions. Now based on his 20 second reading of the rule, he is convinced for the rest of the game that we have no clue about any of the rules. There is never going to be enough time for the coach to read all the pertinant rules/definitions, so I think it is best to leave the book in the locker room.
