Rule Changes

I am also seeing the goalie delay of game being universally NOT applied. I like the idea of penalizing a goalie who leaves the crease to cover the puck. We don't enforce it in out adult leagues, but I have given a goalie a warning about it in a minor hockey game.

I don't think that Head Checking is called enough either. But I usually see a LOT of HC when I'm lining a game. But the refs just don't do much about it. It sucks.

The one call I've seen too much of (not that it's over-called, it's just not well-taught) is Checking From Behind. I've worn the stripes in two games so far and I've had to write up reports in both games for CFB. And most games I've lined I've had to make fun of the ref for doing the same. LOL!

And I have no idea what to think of stick curvature. I haven't noticed any big curves or harder shots yet this year. I've been thinking of buying a stick with a BIG curve just to see what happens! LOL!
