Any rules changes??
With hockey season right around the corner, I was curious if there have been any rules changes.
|
Just checked NFHS.org & came across the following:
2014-2015 Ice Hockey Rules Changes 6-4-1 ART 1...No player shall check, cross-check, elbow, charge or trip an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently into the boards. PENALTY: MAJOR MINOR. If flagrant, Major. 6-4-2 ART 2 ...If flagrant or the check causes the player to crash headfirst into the boards, either a MAJOR and MISCONDUCT or GAME DISQUALIFICATION penalty must be assessed. 6-7-1 ART 1...No player shall push, charge, cross-check or body-check an opponent from behind in open ice. PENALTY: MAJOR MINOR AND MISCONDUCT. OTHER ICE HOCKEY RULES CHANGES 3-4-4 Description of a proper tooth and mouth protector language was updated. 4-10-2 Emphasized that all penalties, served or not, shall be recorded on the score sheet 5-2-2 Officials shall wear all required equipment for both the warm-up and the game. 5-3-1b Officials are responsible for having access to a NFHS Rules Book during games. How I am reading & understanding this, basically they want to eliminate all play on the boards. What are your thoughts? |
