With the new standard of play a parent may find they’re watching the official more than you did in the
past to try to understand the different calls officials are making and why. In the next 6 issues of the New
Game newsletter, Hockey Canada would like to provide parents with a description of the more common signals
being illustrated by officials this season as you watch your son or daughters game.
 |
|
HITTING FROM BEHIND
This is the signal the official will make if calling a hitting from behind penalty. Hitting from behind
can cause serious injury and it is important that you as a parent teach your son or daughter to never hit a
player if the player has their back to them!

CHECKING TO THE HEAD
Concussion awareness continues to grow, we all play a role in preventing concussions and it starts with
the reduction of checking to the head. If your son or daughter receives this penalty talk to them about why
they got the penalty and then explain the importance of not checking another player to the head for any
reason.

CROSS CHECKING
Talk to your kids about their hockey stick emphasizing its use as being to play the puck, not to cross
check another player. Remember to support your coaches as they teach this style of play.

they will be called for interference. It is important to note that interference will be penalized with strict
enforcement.Interference of a player will be penalized with a strict enforcement.
