Baseline on the offensive end. End line on the defensive end of the floor. Sideline along the sides

Sounds good in English, but not in Officialese.

Good one. Very subtle. My nomination for "Post O' The Week".

Hmm . . . does anyone know how "base line" crept into the game? Anyone who's played knows the phrase, but it hardly seems an obvious expression to jump into the game.

Anyone who's played has heard a coach use the term.

The 3 zones of hockey: Offensive Zone, Neutral Zone, & Defensive Zone.

C'mon eagle...how do you know that? Do they teach that in Basketball Scorer/Timer clinics?

...which got me to thinking...I wonder if Hockey officials ever have double or triple whistles? Do all the Hockey Officials even have whistles?

I have been part of two "triple whistles" this year...more than all of last year.

I stated that changing a charge call to a block is ugly...well, I guess triple whistles are right up there with that. Ugly and embarrassing.

...another off-topic thought...remember that dude that was a crazy ski jumper some years back? Wasn't his name Eagle or something like that?

...any relation chseagle?

I know about hockey due to previously working with the Tri-City Americans.

Yes the linesmen & the referee(s) all have whistles in hockey though only one whistle is normally heard.

Come on, RookieDude you should know how I got my name is due to the school name & mascot.

My actual last name has some hockey lineage in it, no basketball & no ski jumping.
