INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. In continuing efforts to
minimize the risk of injury in the sport, the National
Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS)
Ice Hockey Rules Committee approved changes that
will strengthen the language for dangerous hits as
well as give game officials discretion for issuing a
game disqualification when a player illegally hits an-
other player from behind.
Rule 6-7-2 states, "No player shall push, charge,
cross-check or body-check an opponent from behind
into the boards or goal frame," and a violation would
I result in a roajor and misconduct penalty or if fin-
| rant game dlsgLuallficatlon.
checking-from-behind change was one
The
of
four
major rules revisions approved by the committee at its
April 22-23 meeting in Indianapolis. The changes
were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of
Directors.
"Checking from behind is the most dangerous act
in the sport," said Dan Schuster, NFHS assistant di-
rector of coach education and staff liaison to the Ice
Hockey Rules Committee. "With all of its rules
changes, the goal of the committee is to minimize the
risk of injury."
In another risk-minimization change, Rule 6-41-3
now states, "No player shall deliver a check to an un-
suspecting and vulnerable player." This addition was
implemented to eliminate blind-side hits from the
sport as well as to stress legal body-checking.
"This helps protect the defenseless player," Schus-
ter said. "The committee is striving to take these dan-
gerous and unnecessary hits out of the game."
The final roles change dealing with risk minimiza-
tion is Rule 3-3-5. The rule now includes a goal-
keeper's glove as being a piece of equipment that, if
it becomes displaced, requires play to be immedi-
ately stopped.
In the spirit of sportsmanship and fair play, the
committee elected to institute Rule 6-42-1 and 2,
which prohibits the embellishment of hbt iii"fin
tempt to . aw a ?enai 't '0 gl h'fi br
deceitful actions :or to attempt to worseh J ""
an already
called penalty. The infraction for both is a minor
penalty call.
"Some kids are putting themselves in position
where it looks like they get checked from behind,
when in fact, they are merely attempting to draw a ma-
jor penalty," Schuster said. "The commfttee wants to
eliminate these acts from the game."
According to the NFHS High School Athletics
Participation Survey, ice hockey is the 15th-most pop-
ular boys sport at the high school level with 35,732
participants in 1,612 schools. An additional 8,833
girls participated in the sport at 600 schools.
