As an official I do hope common sense plays into this decision when MN Hockey votes on this. Teams will still Ice the puck. This just means we will have more ref's chasing the puck and more faceoff's. Most of us have been around this game long enough to know coaches / parents / players would prefer ...

what if they adopted a system similar to what Soccer does: set a threshold on wins? if you win XX% of your games you are forced to move up? example would be if an association selects to play at the level that may produce a high level of wins the next year team is forced up, if and or once they lose ...

We officials know its impossible to please everyone, for the most part all officials do their best. One thing to remember, for most of us its not our day job, Its not our career. to get paid roughly $35 to do a peewee game that takes me, lets say 20 minutes drive time each way to the arena, Lets say...

(a) Referee Systems – The three-official system (one Referee/two Linesman) and the two-official system (two Referees) are the only approved systems for USA Hockey sanctioned games.

MN Hockey follows the USA Hockey Rule Book.

This is Correct.

off original post, but in line with the direction it has taken when talking travel distance. Is Princeton and St Cloud still in District 10?

I can only tell you from my experience on the checking part of the game. It is very subjective, everyone see's it different. from the players, coaches, fan's(Including parents) as well as officials. if one kid falls down it makes it even more subjective. which team fell? size difference of the playe...

Being an official myself, for many years and at most level's (no WCHA or NHL). i think most would be amazed to actually read some of the rules as its pertained to penalties in the USA Officials Manual. When talking about head contact its pretty straight forward. Make contact with the head and a &quo...

Im not saying its always made. I am saying its an Interference call per the way its written in the rule book. How the official on the ice at the time decides to call it is his choice. I'm just trying to give the try definition of the Rule Book. Or maybe better said: The official would not be "W...

If he's looking at the puck, he doesn't have it, therefore a hit is interference.

Interference. Good Call!

One other note i should add: the officials are to monitor the "Force" used to deliver the check. The purpose of the "check" is to seperate the opponent from the puck. Checking is still ok as long as its legal. Tough part is a legal body check is "Only" the Trunk (hips &...

all these listed as sandbaggers: is it better to have a winning record at a level below or a possible losing record with a record above. how about the teams that went AA that know way should be at that level? I'm sure there are plenty of teams that made that mistake as well? should they be addrsssed...

Its the Officials job to Call the Rules by the book. They do not write the rules, they just inforce whats been written. Part of the philosphy behind some of the new rules is to take the 2nd guessing out of it. it either "is" or it "is not" if the person receiving the check was in...

Wow a nerve has been hit. If this all falls under the MN Hockey umbrella maybe the RBK tryouts should be same as all the other Select activities (spring) on another note. if a player is very skilled playing at a lower level they will score a lot of goals. I have seen players score almost at will pla...

Once your kids hockey career is over you will have a whole new perpective on ths. here's my take on this: is this Squirt age kid somewhat in shape? I am assuming he is, probably in very good shape. a typical squirt hockey game is three 13-minute periods. if there are 3 line on his team in the perfec...

DJ does have a passion for Grand Rapids Hockey. Player? former player? team manager? Parent? regardless if DJ did not post we would not know as much about Rapids as we do.

Only thing I can add is its all a matter of Opinions. A trip by one observer (Official or not) can be a trip, while to the other person saw it as a toe pick (Self inflicted trip). One person wants every little bit of contact called the others want nothing. The came is as exciting as it is in part be...

As an Official we are sappose to be there ready to step on the ice when the Zamboni driver shuts the door. Maybe they could have caught the situation if they noticed it before the Zamboni left the ice. not sure how the arena is set up but maybe the ref's (due to having skates on) could not get to th...

"Redtundra" worded much better then me... well written!

this is an adjustment from old style hockey. really its fairly simple, If you see Jersey # do not check the person, contain them. Do Not Cross Check the person in front of the net anymore, and when checking someone remember your purpose is to seperate them from the puck, Not put them in the fifth ro...

Just from reading these posts it seems to me that the responsibilty now comes down to the local associations or who ever selects what level the teams would skate at. If its now a big jump from AA to that B1 level the local association should be the be the one then to declare AA and A not AA to B1. A...

Maybe I am showing my age here, But does it Really matter what level we classify our kids at? its still a kids game..... (delete)

Those Darn Officials! Sounds Like BadgerBob is the perfect mindset these poor kids need to fix this dilemma. August 1, is the start date for officials to register through USA Hockey. Just a Thought.

it seems to be alot of talk on this forum about. When I looked at this high school they play in a pretty tough Conference AA, that looks very similar to the District 2 that they are in. White Bear, Forest Lake, Roseville, Stillwater, Mounds View, Cretin (Highland). So if an association skates only a...
