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. MORE

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.
