I agree this is rule is interpreted in many different ways. I'm 
concerned with the point where this move becomes obstruction. My
interpretation (but not that many others) is that is not obstruction
as long as the player has control of the ball. Plus there is a point
where you can get away with a partial third man by having your back
turned to the opposing player and passing the ball straight back. The 
opposing play then has to get around you to pursue the ball.

Where are all the readers of this group?  Surely there are results, team 
selections and other news that is worthy of posting to the group.

I am particularly interested in the history of our game.  Are there any
other readers of the group with a similar interest?

What about collecting memorabilia?  Surely there are avenues for readers
to make contact to swop items such as programmes, badges, etc..

Well hello everybody!

Who would have thought that we actually had a silent majority reading this
group :-)

Now that we have determined that there are people out there we can get on
and talk about hockey. So I'll start the ball rolling (excuse the pun)...

Currently we in Scotland are playing with the "standard" (is it?) two
player offside rule. It has been suggested that this rule might be changed
in the very near future (they seem to say this every year and I never believed
them until they changed the penalty corner rule :-)

Current ideas are to:

	1) Leave it the same

	2) abolish it all together


Now, as a goal keeper (yes another one :-) I think it should be left alone,
indoor is fine with no offside, but in outdoor it would spoil attacking play.

As an umpire however, I would love to see the rule go (I also would like to
see the keeper be able to catch and hold the ball and for it to be legal
for a player to kick the ball anywhere except in the circle (or maybe the 25)).

Having never played outdoor without the offside rule, I am not sure that my
first point is valid. Has anyone out there tried it - how is it - what do
all these people who have suddenly owned up to reading this group think?

While we're at it - how do we find the new PC rule (assuming we all now
stop it outside the circle?) and what about this trick of taking the
push from a point more than 5 yards from the edge of the circle so you can
first time it into the net without having to stop it (though I think the
rules have been changed to outlaw this?)?

Let's go the whole hog, should throat protectors be made compulsory for
goal keepers as helmets now are?

OK - I've done my bit - now it's your turn - let's keep this group alive!

D.

PS if the person (or persons) who was (were) interested in swapping 
hockey memorabilia etc is still interested, perhaps you would like to
email me and we can see if we can sort something out.

Have a happy one, and good luck for 93 :-)

I think part of the problem is that people don't know what sort of
thing other people want to see. I dare say that no one is very
interested in the 5th division East of Scotland League results for
instance. It seems that very few people read this group, or if they
do they never write to it. Maybe if a few people out there said what
they would like to read them some other people might be able to oblige.

Even post a festive greeting or something - with appologies for the
Christian view point :-)

Nowadays I don't follow the International scene that closely. In the UK most of the top players will be concentrating on indoor hockey for the next month or two. However, many club players will turn out to play in near freezing conditions outdoors. My club runs a Veterans team and in this, their second season, they have not yet lost a match and are on a run of ten straight wins. What is the longest run of wins by any team?
It is interesting to contrast the newspaper coverage form one part of the country to another -- in Ipswich which has the "top" ladies team in England at the moment, the sport of hockey gets quite good reports in the local papers. When I played for a club just outside London the local papers would hardly cover the sport even though there were lots of top quality teams in the area.

There are a number of books on the history of the game. Neville Miroy's book (probably called "the history of hockey" or something original like that) traces the origins back B.C. I believe. Some fascinating rules when the game began to take its current shape just over a hundred years ago. When the ball went off the side the game was restarted with a line out as in rugby -- the ball was rolled in
between two lines of players who presumably took a swipe .....

Since we are all declaring that we read this newsgroup, I thought that I'd add

Merry Christmas everyone, though by the time this gets out from this

Similar to my last posting regarding Patrice Brisebois, I'm trying to figure
out which games Niedermayer has played over the last week or so, and which he
has missed due to back spasms.  In last week's Hockey News, it claims he's
played 26 of the first 29 Devil games.  In our local paper's stats today, it is
claimed he has now played 28 of 32 games.  As he certainly played in the 3-0
loss to the Rangers, this means he missed 2 of the 3 games before the Ranger
game.  Does anyone know which ones he missed (or conversely, which one he
played)?  Thanks in advance for any info.

Cheers,
   Brad

Regarding a recent remark about Van Hellemond, is there any referee
currently working in the NHL who consistently calls an unbiased game?
It seems to me that in any given game, the ref calls questionable
penalties, doesn't call a blatant one or two, and then lets the teams
get away with all kinds of cheap stuff in the last few minutes so as not
to "influence" the game.  What's a ref for if not to call what he sees?
Anyway I was trying to think of who seems to be doing a good, consistent
job and Paul Stewart comes to mind.  Schick doesn't do too badly; either
does Gregson.  Anybody else?

I just read in my Sun this morning that Ottawa has won its battle to
keep the first draft pick and that the draft had been restructured to
allow this and to take care of the new expansion teams. The paper was
a little unclear about what had actually happened, but it did mention
that some of the "old-guard" (their phrase) including Bill Wirtz had
"gone ballistic" at the new draft rules and that they were appealing the
decision. 

So the draft is or isn't drastically changed to accommodate the
Senators, Ducks and Videos. Does anybody know anything else about this?

Compuware is supposedly targeting Phoenix for the next expansion.

But then when the Kings were in Edmonton last week, Bob Miller
interviewed Glen Sather concerning the rumor of Edmonton
relocating to Phoenix. Sather neither confirmed nor denied this,
stating only that in order to pay the players the Oilers had to
have 14,000 to 15,000 people in the stands per game.

I hadn't heard this rumor before then.

Heard on The Fan radio 1430 in Toronto:

The latest trade rumour is

Rob Pearson and Felix Potvin to Edmonton for Joe Murphy and
Esa Tikkanen.

Note:  If the expansion draft for Anaheim and Miami does go ahead
this summer with a protection list of 1 goaltender, 5 defensemen,
and 9 forwards as suggested, then it is almost a certainty that
either Fuhr or Potvin has to be traded before then.  Toronto 
doesn't have many forwards that need protecting in an expansion
draft...they are mostly old or lousy...and thus a trade of Potvin
which seemed an impossibility a short time ago, is not inconceivable.

But what exactly would Sather have in mind with Ranford, Tugnutt,
and Potvin...things that make one go hmmm!

The summer Olympics are already a monster, they are trying to reduce
them. There has been thought to move some indoor ball games like basket
and volley to the winter games already, but I do not thing that this
will solve anything. The hockey season is quite long, and it is important
for the players to have a break in the summer. Let us not take that away.
