In ancient times, before IAABO (can't speak for NFHS signals) came up with an "approved" signal between partners to prevent heart attacks when end of period horns surprise both of them, patting one's head was, indeed, one of a few "unapproved" period-soon-ending signals, and some were locally "dinged" on evaluations for using such. Other such "unapproved" period-soon-ending signals included lifting an arm and pretending to be pointing to a non-existent wrist watch (now one would probably pretend to be looking at a non-existent cell phone), using a finger twirling signal (like the hands on an analog clock), and pointing to the scoreboard.

IAABO presently has two "approved" period-soon-ending signals, pointing a finger in the air to indicate less than a minute, and patting one's chest to indicate, "I've got last second shot".

Ha, like the 1-minute flag in Canadian football.

Not a big fan of polite, boring, poutine eating, maple syrup chugging, moose hunting, igloo building, maple leaf waving, hoser football.

I do like the, "O Canada", part. Always chokes me up when I go to a fight, I mean, a hockey game.
