***New Head shot rule***
please watch this Hockey Canada youtube video
I will be addressing the players before tonight's game about the new standard of play for head shots.
It is imperative that all players watch this video and are familiar with this change in the rules
It is very important that parents understand that Hockey Canada has adopted a ZERO tolerance policy with regards to contact with the head. Expect a parade to the penalty box until players, refs and coachs get use to this change.
Have some malox, put on a hat so you don't pull out your hair, and don't bother yelling at the refs (coach included) as this is a directive from the highest levels of the game.
There will be ref evaluators at games and if the refs don't call head shots then they get negative evaluations
