Throwing pucks on the ice during play???
Anybody else have this crap happen during a game? During the Roch Mayo vs. Roch Century game some dingbat from the crowd threw a puck on the ice during a Century scoring chance. Ref blew the whistle seconds before the puck is shot and goes into the Mayo net. All of the Century backers are pissed now about it. I was wondering if people know what the protocol is on this and if there is precident?
Puttin' da biskit in da basket since '83!

Re: Throwing pucks on the ice during play???
I saw this for the first time last night in the Albert Lea/Northfield game. The weird thing was it came from the Northfield student section when Northfield had the puck in the offensive zone. I'm guessing the students were looking for some attention since they were down 9-1 at the time.PowerPlay™ wrote:Anybody else have this crap happen during a game?

This is something that needs to be elminated. If it happens in an important game (see quote above) in can have huge ramifications. Fans will need to call out other fans and have them removed immediately.
Ive never seen a penaly called for it. Heck- the few times I have seen it happen it was the little 5-8 year olds running around near the glass throwing things (pucks, mini fooballs, etc...) that inadvertantly go over the boards and onto the playing surface.
I'll let the refs and rule hawks give the final answer but I'm guessing it would be extreamly hard to penalize a team for fan behavior where intent is almost impossible to prove.

Thats when the rink attendants need to find the parents and kick them all out. Then tell the parents that the arena is not a playground for their kids. All parents should keep there kids in the stands next to them, or find a freaking babysitter and keep them at home.who_b_dat wrote:Ive never seen a penaly called for it.

And then they will say they paid their $6 and get out of my face. Or you can't say that to me or my kids....I know I have seen it for years.Cabela10 wrote:Thats when the rink attendants need to find the parents and kick them all out.

From Northfield I would understand it. There was a fracas at Richfield last week with the student section from Northfield....

Throwing anything on the ice can result in an ejection from the arena staff. Problem is you must see who threw the object on the ice. In some cases, the only time someone can be ejected from the arena would be if the refs asked for this to happen. Usually this is a loud mouth. If there are fights or other infractions in the stands then arena staff have the right to remove anyone. Just because you pay for a ticket, does not give you the right to be an idiot.HShockeywatcher wrote:What is the protocol for what to do in this situation on the ice? Yes, the moron should be escorted out, we get that. In this situation, on the ice, a goal that would've been scored thrown puck or not, was called off. What's the ruling?

That is the rule i was referring to. I knew there was something like that.mnreferee1 wrote:A second puck in play is an immediate whistle. There are penalties if it was thrown from the bench. The rules do allow a team to be penalized for fan behavior however it is difficult to enforce.

A number of years ago (maybe
I had taken my son who was around 3 at the time to a Hill sectional game. We stayed to watch the second game of NSP vs WBL and during warmups he attained a puck that came over the glass. Well needless to say, midway through the first period of the game when WBL was on a powerplay, he stood up, ran straight towards the glass and chucked the puck on the ice. The local public safety officer stopped by and had a talk with him. I will never forget that one...

puck from the crowd thrown on ice
ya some moron from northfield did that the other night during the Albert Lea vs Northfield section game
Sorry but they did not pay $6 for their kids to run around like it was a playground. They came their to watch a hockey game. I help at a local arena and we have kicked out many familys after warning them about not controling their kids. It happens and will continue to happen.Zamman wrote:And then they will say they paid their $6 and get out of my face.

I believe the first offense is a warning over the PA system and the next thing that comes over the glass results in the home team getting a penalty, unless of course it came from the visiting team fans, then they are enforced a penalty.SB24 wrote:That is the rule i was referring to.
