IT'S A NEW GAME....Let's take a look at the Details!
At the rink this season, you will see a new standard of rules enforcement.
While the rules of the game have not changed the new standard will provide players with the opportunity for improved skill development and a more positive and safe hockey environment for all participants.
Hockey Canada believes that this new rules standard will place a greater emphasis on the basic building blocks of the game - skating, puck possession and proper body positioning.
