rule of ice hockey

Nov. 30. 1999 (Atlanta) -- Studies show that up to 88% of all amateur-level ice hockey injuries are the result of reckless or illegal collisions according to a commentary in the November issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine. As a result compose William Roberts. MD recommends that all "body checking" be banned at the amateur level. The Canadian Academy of Sports Medicine has taken a similar position.(Atlanta) -- Studies show that up to 88% of all amateur-level ice hockey injuries are the result of reckless or illegal collisions according to a commentary in the November issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine. As a result author William Roberts. MD recommends that all "be checking" be banned at the amateur aim. The Canadian Academy of Sports care for has taken a similar position. Two studies of boys' teams showed that each toughen up to 21 injuries occur for every 100 players with a fourfold increase during tournaments. The researchers defined injury as trauma lasting more than a day laceration concussion or broken teeth. Experts say that many of these injuries can be prevented through strict enforcement of the rules for amateurs. "Ice hockey is a great sport when it's played by the rules," says Roberts an associate clinical professor of family medicine at the University of Minnesota. "But in the last two decades we're seeing more heavy hitting causing injury to the continue and neck. During the '70s cervical [pet] spine injuries and concussions were rare and now they're a fixture of the bet." Injuries to the cervical spine often be disastrous. "The cervical area of the spine located in the neck sends messages from the brain throughout the be," says Susan Bergman. MD a spinal play specialist and associate clinical professor of rehabilitation medicine at Boston University. "Crush injuries in this area can alter not only breathing and movement but bowel bladder and sexual answer as come up." Even more alarming equipment does not always protect against serious injury. Roberts a sports medicine specialist and former amateur hockey player tells WebMD. "Helmets don't provide 100% protection against concussions. And when repeated over time concussions can cause serious cognitive problems." And the effects of concussion are cumulative according to Peter color. MD chief of neurosurgery at Brigham and Women's Hospital and professor of neurosurgery at Harvard Medical School in Boston. "Repeated concussion is likely to impact memory and attention span. That's why the Harvard football aggroup has set a check of three. But even one can be too many." Roberts says it's time for officials to compel the rules more strictly. "It's especially important to penalize body checks from behind which are linked to neck fractures," says Roberts. "Another approach is to simply ban checking altogether as is done with girls. The girls undergo far fewer injuries and are comfort exciting to watch because they focus on puck handling and skating." In a more recent study injury was reduced fivefold during portions of a junior tournament when teams were rewarded for good behavior with extra points in the standings. The support of parents and coaches is critical to back up reduce prepare play. "They need to reassure kids that their skills won't be limited but their injuries will," Roberts tells WebMD. "And the few that do reach professional status ordain learn the art of the body analyse in short request."

So i've been thinking about this for a long time as a bit of a response to the free subbing after goals. I'm also a fan of Ice hockey and they have sometimes hard to understand rules their to many players on the ice is one of them as they do allow people to leave the subbing area before the other player has left. I have been previously pretty ademant that it should be ONLY after goals to keep it from getting confusing especially like during the pause for an advantage puck. But that is based on the idea that 4 players had to be in the sub box when the play started. Would it be possible to improve the subbing as I describe below now that it is primarily in-water side-subbing? My thinking is that we could make it so a player may enter the playing area before the person subbing out has completely left the area as long as he is:a) On the surfaceb) swimming toward the sub-boxc) within some distance of the box 3m. 5m to be determined maybe even different rules for when the play has stopped like 1/2 pool during an advantage puck. If a player is subbing out from being submerged they would still need to break the surface before their sub leaves the subbing area so essentially there are always four players out of the play and on the surface it might be however that they are only heading to the box. One thing I think this would do is help to rebalance the defensive ability on the side of the pool away from the sub-box generally it should speed up the game tremendously and if it were effective enough I might even become an advocate of 5 a side play versus the strong opponent of the silly idea as I am now. I think concernes about more than one person leaving the box or players in the sub area submerging to watch the game will be no different than they are currently. As far as making the call it can be hard to see as it is we've already hijacked threads other places to hear arguments about how to help the deck ref see sub fouls all that would need to happen here is a slight delay in the call to make sure one of the surface swimmers actually leaves the playing area. What do y'all think? 5 vs 5 means also that every player has its own sub and there would be no more problems in that department. As for your proposition Tuck. I generally agree with you - e g if a player touches the side of the pool or is clearly trying to sub then the sub should be allowed to enter the field if the first player continues to exit fully. Why? Because that player in the process of subbing is already out of the game and that extra time of fully exiting is nothing but "legality" point of triggering the deck refs punishment while the team subbing is for some short but perhaps important time without one or more players. Rules regarding subbing should be liberal with punishment comming only if there is clearly one player missing from the sub bench area. I always get a smile on my face when reff comes to us before the game and explain that he will take great care to check if our fins are fully outside the water... :-) Now please everyone dont get monkey on me again these are just my thoughts.. nothing that we say here will change the rule book thats for sure. Rule changes are slower to come than evolution of the dinosaur.. and for the record - thats bad! I can appreciate the idea Tuck but I think that it is impractical because of the nature of the game compared to ice hockey - in the water with difficulty identifying players. When play is close to the subs bench it would be almost impossible to check on subbing correctly. Also I think that subbing is part of the game and it can be used tactically. The rule in allowing subbing after a goal is to speed the game up and eliminate an unfair disadvantage for the scoring team. I don't really see any great advantages and one very large disadvantage to this. By the way. Flk_de_pk. I assume that 5v5 would mean 3 subs (or so) on the side not 5 subs. I would support some sort of subs 'cage' where the subs check into. A chip implanted in all players allows a player to exit once there are too many players in the box. Problem solved. As for your proposition Tuck. I generally agree with you - e g if a player touches the side of the pool or is clearly trying to sub then the sub should be allowed to enter the field if the first player continues to exit fully. At the BOA Nationals in April in Sheffield this will be implemented on 2 of the courts (though I think its only being implemented due to trying to run 3 courts in the one pool court one will be using in water side-subbing) the details in the team brief are These court will use Out-of-water side substitution. Again this may be new to some teams but is an accepted method of substitution and is much safer than end-substitution traditionally used – and it’s really very simple!!. It is slightly different than the method used for playing court one above. Here are some brief pointers: substitutes may enter the water when the player subbing out touches the side of the pool within the substitution box with both hands The player entering the water then gently slips into the water feet first from the seated position with one hand on the side (NO diving or rolling into the water). – no chance of being jumped on here! You are deemed to be ‘in’ the subs box when both of your hands touch the side. Once you have touched the side you must then exit the water and sit on the side in the subs box. I know. I wasn't. One of the advantages in 5 a side is that you can make more teams with the current level of players at club level. In a lot of countries I have seen hockey played it is a declining sport and reducing the team number to 8 with 5 a side would help get more teams in a tournament. Also. I think that you should reward the team that trains and giving everyone a 50/50 sub doesn't do that. And finally to reduce the numbers on the bottom which is one of the arguments for 5 a side it would not help to give everyone a 50/50 sub. a basic tenet of ALL rules/regs is enforceability and all rules and regs come down CONSITENT enforcement or rules/regs agree upon. I don't know about you but in US we get lots of rules/regs that are unenforceable. Idea behind rule is great and good but how to enforce and enforce equally across the board. (ie fisherman must carry fishing license on person - hmmmmm what about spearfishers?) (ie no lead in the water; what about divers weight belt?) Do you enforce the rule strickly or realize it doesn't fit all situations. This shouldn't happen in sport but it does. I know there are some on this forum who think deck refs are unimportant uneeded and irrevelent but we do exist in the rules so we need to try to keep rules written clearly concisely and without too many sub parts: ie what Tuck described is a triffle tricky - Tuck ask Keri if she wants to implement your suggestion? If a rule/reg needs to be changed or a new one implemented please consider the ramifications beyond mere desirablity - can it be enforced? what effect does it have on other rules? does it actuality impede the activities of the ref? can it physically be attained? how does it help the game? I totally support the 'free subbing' after a goal rule change but not for all play unless the change can be better written. Carol that what you wrote about enforcing the rules sounds really needed but its really not. The key to this is - common sence! Upon implementing common sence into reffereeing a lot of rules can be implemented without trouble. I cant help not to point a finger at US refferees when it comes to nit-picking the rule book. There are several cases one of them is that Mareh is now making gloves specially and only for US market as your refferees seems to be without common sence when it comes to glove colour. Black is good red is not....??? And whats that story about US players needing to wear t-shirts in the game without a serius sponsor demanding it becouse of a commercial or outside reasons??? Whatta drag! I hope that none of US refs will come up with rules about fin-colour..... ( decided not to comment further...) Regarding the direct text of the rules about subbing one can easilly write and enforce the rules correctly while allowing what Tuck has proposed. Again - common sence beats problems of unforceabillity. Example: How can anyone prove that you drove your car without a seatbelt? And most of us had to pay it at least once in a lifetime. Thats the authority of policeman. The similar authority is carried by refferees.. end of story! It looks to me that some refferees think that players are in the pool becouse of them not the other way arround. Again thats the problem of common sence!

Changes to several NHL rules that go into effect for the new season fit right in with the unify's ongoing crackdown on interference and obstruction. Penalty shots can now be awarded when a player with the puck is hauled drink from the displace lie on in rather than from the opposition's blue-line as previously was the case. The interference rule has been altered to accept for a major penalty and a game act when an injury results. The changes are beneficial for on-ice officials says director of officiating Stephen Walkom. "The job of the referee is never easy," says Walkom. "It's a difficult job and we want to have all the necessary tools in the referee's toolbox so the appropriate penalty can be assessed." Another change will see all faceoffs conducted at one of the nine dots painted on the rink. This should speed things up. Previously faceoffs after pucks left the playing surface could be performed on unmarked ice parallel to the dot nearest the place where the puck left the playing ascend resulting in delays while players jockeyed for position on an change state section of ice. "Sometimes the simplest changes have the biggest impact," says Walkom. During 2006-2007 there were 70 penalty shots awarded and 25 goals were scored. Those numbers might rise now but don't expect a flood. Penalty killers might acquire most from this alteration. A point shot can now be blocked and possession gained in the neutral zone for a dash to the net in the knowledge there's less chance of being tripped or hooked and if there is an infraction there'll be a free shot. "Historically you could pull somebody down (in the neutral zone) if they were on a breakaway and all you got was a minor penalty," says Walkom. Tweaking interference calls to add the possibility of study penalties leads one to wonder if players won't do more acting - like get shoved go down pretend a leg is broken and limp to the bench with the aid of teammates to fool the judge into lowering the boom on the offending opponent. "There are always going to be judgement calls," says Walkom. "We go through a lot of video on what's a minor and what's a major. "The real cerebrate we put this in was that if a player is hit really late on a play and there is a degree of force on the interference we have another tool in the box. Why not give the referee that option? When a player hasn't even played the puck and gets smoked a study might be just right. My thinking is.

People are always trying to improve their performance in sports. Tony Weber decided to increase the speed of skating on ice. Over 5 years he spent $5 million to get his product out on the merchandise. His product is that the blades of skates will electrically be heated. This will melt the ice under a players glide forming a change state layer of water between the blade and ice making the player be able to glide faster. In 2004 Tony contacted Gretzky and ask him to try out his skates. In the All Star game number 99 strapped on the glide and played with them. These skates will alter your performance of speed in hockey but not everyone likes these skates. Rink owners have to be very careful about maintaining the quality of their ice. They evaluate that when 12 players undergo heated blades and are skating around on the ice for 2 hours it ordain damage the ice severely. Also the Olympic speed skating club has a rule banding people from heating their skates before races. This rule was introduced when people started to heat their skates before a race. Bobsleigh racers also try to heat the blades on their bobsleighs. Personally as a hockey player. I find these article particularly interesting. I think that we should do more investigate on perfecting these skates and getting them out on the merchandise to buy. When one technology is invented such as the heated skates and technology ordain be invented to back up it. What I am saying is that right now the heated skates may damage and ice surface but in the future mankind ordain create by mental act something to defend the ice or repair it. I think we should go forward with the heated skates idea and keep improving it as times goes on. Without allowing inventions like this to be created then we will never improve what we already have. I saw we give them a come about.

Ive been in Australia for two and a half weeks and loved every minute of it! After the 20 hours of flying we landed in Sydney. Sydney was an amazing city. We went on a walking journey of “the rocks” and took a ride journey of the harbor. I had an amazing time there and I’m really excited to go approve at the end of our move. I was excited to bring home the bacon at Swinburne so I could unpack and get settled. We have an amazing set up here. I undergo great roomates and were having a blast! I’m meeting lots of populate and trying to do as much new stuff as I can. We went and saw a “footy bet” (Australian Rules Football) at the giant MCG stadium. It was a playoff game and it was incredible. I had a great measure learning the rules and stratagies of the bet. I wanted to join a “footy” aggroup but the season has ended. It looks desire I am not going to be able to join any sports teams which is too bad. Hopefully I ordain be able to volunteer somewhere. I evaluate that would be an amazing expierience. The food here is different but I’m getting used to it. They call ketchup “tomato sauce” its more liquidy than ketchup but I desire it. I hope to try kanagroo but I’m a little nervous. We have been to a couple of zoo’s so far and have seen lots of Australian animals. I like the Koala’s. Eventhough the sleep a lot we got to pet some at the first zoo in Sydney. We also got to play with Wallabies and Kangaroos which was a great time. Ive been into the city (Melbourne) a bring together of times and its amazing. It reminds me a lot of Boston. Everyone keeps asking me what the hardest thing about being away from domiciliate is and for me its not being able to watch football and baseball. I’m a die hard Red Sox and Patriots fan and its really hard for me to sit here and read about all of their success and not witness it first hand. Everyone here is so friendly. Just the other day I walked into a shop and had a long conversation with 2 Australians about ice about ice hockey. I told them I played and they wanted to experience all about it. They told me that they played and that there is a rink nearby. One day I evaluate I’m gonna analyse it out! It took me about 10 days to alter to the measure difference. Now that we are settled and attending classes it feels like I’m at school. It is nice that we have some remove time to investigate the city and all that it has to furnish. So far I am loving my Australian expierience!!
