Any word on how they finished. I believe they made semi.

My intent was to give an example. in general purpose the rule, or interpetation, is to determine if the player is playing the Puck or the Body. I was just using an example that if the stick is off the ice the intent to play the puck was eliminated, this can assist an official in making the call. I ...

a point that has been emphasied this year is "Play the Puck first" so if a player is aggressive with the body and his stick is 6" off the ice he is no longer making an attempt to play the puck (assuming the puck is on the ice.) as an official it can be difficulty to assess the intent...

Interestingly obtuse. Maybe the kids who initiate contact should fall down first. You prove my point. Precisely what most people identify as "following through" a check. The kids may as well be taught how to be cannon balls, if that's what passes for good, legal checking. You make zero se...

Sorry people but contact cannot be initiated without follow through.. "Follow through your check" is so vague and widely misunderstood that it shouldn't even be used in polite company anymore. Nine times out of ten, people mean "continue your momentum in roughly the same direction an...

Take away space using your position, strength, and skill. Don't extend hands, arms, or make an outward motion to "check" the player off of the puck. It seems simple enough, but every coach and ref will interpret it in their own way. Lets not forget to add shoulder, hip, or legs. At least ...

It should not need a little time, it's common sense something I have not seen any of the games I have watched. What I have see is fat old out of shape whistle happy refs wasting time and money and ruining a good Pee Wee A hockey game :!:[/quote] The Refs have been very consistent IMO. Might as well ...
