SPECIALTY CLINICS
Hockey Canada has developed a series
of specialty clinics to offer coaches a practical session on teaching
various skills, tactics and systems. The Northern Ontario Hockey
Association (NOHA) is pleased to offer – beginning in January 2008 – the
following four specialty clinics:
1. Small Area Games
2. Shooting and Scoring
3. Puck Control
4. Skating
These specialty clinics have been
developed to provide additional training and education for coaches which
they can implement with their players. The instructional modules are
based around newly created Hockey Canada resources that address a
player’s technical and tactical development. The most important aspect
is that the coaches learn how to teach the skills effectively.

CHANGES TO GOALTENDING EQUIPMENT
In
response to feedback at the minor hockey association and membership levels, the
Hockey Canada Board of Directors and the member Branches approved a one-year
delay in the implementation of new goaltender equipment rules, which will now
take effect in the 2009-10 season.
EFFECTIVE
FOR THE 2009 – 2010 SEASON
Goaltender's Equipment
(a) With the exception of skates and stick,
all equipment worn by the goaltender must be constructed solely for the purpose
of protection of the head or body, and must not include any garment or
contrivance which would give the goaltender undue assistance in keeping goal.
Abdominal aprons extending down the thighs on the outside of the pants are
prohibited.
Note 1: Protective padding attached to the
back of, or forming part of the goaltender’s blocker glove, shall not exceed
20.3 cm (8 in.) in width nor 38.1 cm (15 in.) in length. Any measurement
exceeding 20.3 cm (8 in.) measured anywhere across the full length of the wrist
area, or more than 38.1 cm (15 in.) anywhere on the length constitutes an
illegal blocker glove.
Note 2: The base of the goaltender’s
catching glove shall be restricted to a maximum of 20.32 cm (8 in.) in width,
which is to include any attachments added to that glove. The distance from the
heel of the glove along the pocket and following the contour of the glove to the
top of the "T" trap must not exceed 46 cm (18 in.) The heel is considered to be
the point at which the straight vertical line of the cuff meets the glove. Any
measurement exceeding 20.32 cm (8 in.) measured anywhere across the full length
of the wrist area. The maximum circumference of the legal goaltenders catching
glove can not exceed 114.3 cm (45 in.) (see Appendix “B” for diagram). The
lacing or webbing or other material joining the thumb and index finger of a
goaltender’s glove, or any cage, pocket or pouch created by this material, must
not exceed the minimum amount of material necessary to fill the gap between the
thumb and the index finger when they are fully extended and spread. Any other
pocket, pouch or contrivance added to the glove by a manufacturer or otherwise
is not acceptable and makes the glove illegal.
Note 3:
The binding and/or stitching at the edges of both goaltender’s gloves shall not
be included in the measurement of either the length or width.
Note 4:
When a request for a measurement of a goaltender’s glove has been made the team
shall state the
glove that is to be measured
and whether the length or width of the glove are in question.
(b) Goaltender’s pads, shall not exceed 27.94
cm (11 in.) in width and 96.52 cm (38 in.) in length as measured on the
goaltender and shall not be altered in any way. The minimum length of the boot
of the pad is to be no less than 17.78 cm (7 in.). The boot is the bottom of the
pad that sits over the top of the skate. The boot channel of the goalkeeper pad
must be flat or concave in appearance.
Note: Puck foil (a plastic piece attached to
the bottom of goaltender’s pads designed to stop the puck) is considered to be
illegal equipment.
(c) A Minor penalty shall be assessed a
goaltender guilty of using or wearing illegal equipment.
(d) A goaltender shall remove her face
protector for purpose of identification, if so asked by the Referee. A
goaltender who refuses this request shall be assessed a Gross Misconduct
penalty.
Chest and Arm Pads
1. No raised ridges are allowed on the front
edges or sides of the chest pad, the inside or outside of the arms, or across
the shoulders.
2. Layering at the elbow is permitted to add
protection but not to add stopping area. This layering, both across the front
and down the sides to protect the point of the elbow shall not exceed 17.78 cm
(7 in.).
3. Shoulder Cap Protectors must follow the
contour of the shoulder cap without becoming a projection/extension beyond or
above the shoulder or shoulder cap. This contoured padding must not be more than
2.54 cm (1 in.) in thickness beyond the top ridge of the shoulder and shoulder
cap.
4. On each side, the Shoulder Clavicle
Protectors are not to exceed 17.78 cm (7 in.) in width. Their maximum thickness
is to be 2.54 cm (1 in.) This protection is not to extend or project above or
beyond the shoulder or shoulder cap nor extend beyond the armpit. No insert is
allowed between the Shoulder Clavicle Protector and the chest pad that would
elevate the Shoulder Clavicle Protector.
5. If the shoulder and/or shoulder cap
protection is pushed above the contour of the shoulder when the goalkeeper
assumes the normal crouch position, the chest pad will be considered illegal.
