Yeah, once the ref just dropped the puck with only one side at the face off which got me yelling at him. You’re not supposed to do that Mr Ref.
I feel that droppingthe puck even if the other team isnt there after enough time is a legit method of getting them to hurry up next time. not to be sued in important games though
Before I cared about the rules, I used to just drop the puck on the ice before the other team had arrived at the face-off dot. That makes them hurry up next time around
” title=”Smiley” />There is no easy solution to this but you need to consider the following scenarios:
Defensive team not in position, which gives the attacking team a hell of an advantage! Potentially up to 5 on gk!!
Or the defending team has lined up but one player, coming slowly off the bench and still at the far blue line, gets a long stetch pass and has a one-on-one with the gk.
Both of these scenarios are avoidable AND blatantly unfair to either team and should not happen.
This leaves the only action left is to warn first the offending team and then penalise from then on.

When the ref drops his hand, the home team may make no more changes and the linesman will (should) blow the whistle.[/quote:i5zvn6jr]I didn’t understand or care about this when you posted it. But I was lining with Mike Mitchell this evening and he showed me what to do. I was slightly confused as to what he was doing at the time, but I got the gist that I needed to blow the whistle once he dropped his arm. It all makes a lot more sense now that I’ve read back over what you said.
I no idea local referees bothered with any of these home/away team shenanigans. I’m envisaging me getting my home and away benches completely around the wrong way and screwing it up.
I referee’d an earlier game with two linesman helping me, but they knew even less about what to do than I did, so it all worked out fine
