Power Hockey - Rule Changes

Rule Changes

  • A basketball court is used instead of ice.
  • A plastic ball is used instead of a hockey puck.
  • The hockey stick that is used is made entirely from plastic.
  • Players with excessive limited range and movement may tape the stick to their wheelchair.
  • Due to the goalies' limited ability to move, they do not freeze the ball. Instead, the official blows the whistle to stop play when the ball is underneath the goaltender's electric wheelchair, and play restarts with a face-off.

Famous quotes containing the word rule:

    I am a Christian according to my conscience in belief, ... in purpose and wish;Mnot of course by the orthodox standard. But I am content, and have a feeling of trust and safety.
    The Machiavellian mind and the merchant mind are at one in their simple faith in the power of segmental division to rule all—in the dichotomy of power and morals and of money and morals.
    Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    School days, school days; dear old golden rule days.
    Readin’ and ‘ritin’ and ‘rithmetic; taught to the tune of a hick’ry stick.
    Will D. Cobb (1876–1930)
