Be the Referee: Unsuspecting Hockey Hits

Be The Referee is a series of short messages designed to help educate people on the rules of different sports, to help them better understand the art of officiating, and to recruit officials.

Below is this week's segment – Unsuspecting Hockey Hits - Listen

We’re on the ice today and we’ve got two players, one from the home team, one from the away team, trying to gain control of the puck.

As they are jockeying for the puck, a second home team player comes in and checks the away team player – allowing the home team to gain possession.

Is this physical contact by the second player allowed?

If the opposing player is in an unsuspecting or vulnerable position – then no, it is not allowed and the aggressor should be penalized.

This is a point of emphasis for the 2023-24 season which aims to remove unsuspecting hits to defenseless or vulnerable players.
