Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 17, 2005 It's also a penalty for using illegal equipment and could be a match penalty for intent to injure. At the very least it's a 5 and game for injury if you cut the guy open. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jason Harris 31 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I think there are some coaches in hockey who played that way themselves, and they've passed along their winning philosophies to their kids. Either that, or we have some real shithead parents who haven't raised their children properly.If I ever saw my daughters do something even close to that, I would be so disappointed and ashamed.

chippa13 1844 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I've heard of guys doing something similar at the top of lacrosse sticks.As a referee, if I saw anyone with a dangerous tip on their stick, usually because a chunk had broken off, I would tell them the next time they were on the bench to either get the jagged piece covered with tape, grab another stick, or get a penalty for dangerous equipment if they stepped out on the ice with the stick in the same condition.

mack 44 Report post Posted October 18, 2005 I've seen/felt that done to toes of the blades by d-men just just prod it straight behind your kneecap. Just a bush thing to do by people who need crutches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It can be both. As a coach, I teach my guys alot of boarderline stuff, I don't think it's "terrible" things like this, but little things for survival infront and such. There is a line to be drawn. Something like this can seriously injure people, and I have played with guys who have used it to seriously injure people, but I think alot of coaches, parents and players have a myth about toughness being the ability to injure people.
