The philosophy of the rules

• My statement: A thorough understanding of the rules and the

philosophy behind these enables you to perform more consistent due to enhanced

awareness and judgement skills which in time supports the development of the game of

hockey.

Increased consistency will earn you a higher degree of respect and acknowledgement on

the ice from all participants
