We are ATCO’s, pilots, adults and professionals and therefore we must never forget that in the first place we are colleagues and only after that we are hockey players in opposing teams. So do not get too emotional and serious while playing hockey. Here are a few things from the rules which are “nice to know” · High stick: it may be called for carrying the stick above the normal height of the waist. · Use of stick: in all cases, use of the stick on the opponents’ body above the waist should be watched carefully and penalized accordingly. · Icing: the defending teams blue line will be used for the determination of the icing.
