2 Directives Going Forward |
Posted By: Referee-In-Chief |
Tuesday, November 3, 2020 |
1) The last player from each Team that leaves the Staging Area onto the ice or off the ice will be responsible for closing their Staging Area Door. Please do not close the Door for them, if the Door is not closed 1 of the players from that Team will close the Door prior to the puck drop etc.
2) Contact with the Goaltender is on the rise again. Anytime an offensive player makes contact with the Goaltender whether it be backing into the Goaltender, skating into the Goaltender, falling into the Goaltender etc the REFs will call minimum of a 2 Minute Minor for Goaltender Interference, be aware that this may be increased to 5 Minute Major+Game Misconduct for Goaltender Interference or Goaltender Charging based on degree of impact or if the Goaltender is injured. Most severe a Match Penalty.
Further if the defensive player knocks an offensive player into their own Goaltender the REFs will call 4 Mins against the defensive player 2 Mins for 'The Initial Infraction'+2 Mins for Unsportsmanlike Conduct & 2 Mins against the offensive player for Goaltender Interference. The only exception to any of this is if the Goaltender initiates the Contact then no penalty or a penalty against the Goaltender maybe called. If we are going to protect the Goaltender then the Goatenders have no right to make contact either. The REFs will crackdown on protecting the Goaltenders as too many are getting contacted with & resulting in potential altercations & injuries. In 1 game alone, prior to this Directive, we had 3 Goaltender Interference penalties in 1 game.
GM's of each team please inform your players about these 2 Directives. |
