As the level of talent increased along with the league expansion, rules and regulations came into effect to clean up the once unstructured play to create an organized sport. The easiest way for hockey to clean up its own act. By Jason DiMatteo As Professional Sports Commissioners it is our intention to keep the game of hockey as clean as possible. In order to do this we have to only make small adjustments, any large changes would mean that things weren t being properly taken care of in the past. This game was intended to be played a certain way.
Hockey is played much different than any other sport in the industry.
Hockey has its talented all-stars, which are flawless skaters, with great abilities. Also, it has it role players which are aren t as talented with their skating and other abilities but are still large contributors to their team. These players have different roles within the team. Some are gritty grinder types that love to dig in the corners and play good defensive style hockey. Others are antagonistic players that try to get under the other team skin and draw penalties.
