Date Posted: 2/12/05 9:15 The NHL rules seem clear to me: since rebounds off goalies pads do not break possession, an unintentional hand pass off the goalie's pads is still a pass, and in the attacking zone, the referee MUST call a stoppage. The referee only has some leeway in the defending zone. I personally don't see the logic behind the attacking zone/defending zone differences in the NHL rulebook, though. Can someone check out the IIHF rule on hand passes? And on the "asked not to turn out" question, I would just ignore it, and turn out anyway. The princesses would never dare to turn you away before the practice, in front of witnesses. And if they did, there would be an immediate backlash. Everybody wants a quality game, and I think what the "silent majority" wants is regularity, so by being regular you will "earn" your spot. On the "slashing/chipping" question, the princesses are right, and speak for the "silent majority" that we are playing non-contact hockey. But there are notorious chippers and slashers and body-checkers who flout the rules, and seem to get away with it. Just be careful that you don't hurt someone, because then, as an "outsider" there could be trouble. Turn out regularly, make less fouls than a Damian or a Marek (Czarny) and within a month or two, no-one will even notice you're there. I look forward to stopping your first breakaway! :) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
