Note 2 Required Equipment: Helmet, Skates, Stick and Gloves Coaches are now required to wear helmets During the 2006 Annual Congress, USA Hockey’s board of directors passed new legislation mandating that all coaches and instructors wear helmets during on-ice sessions. The complete legislation, effective at the start of the 2006-07 season, reads as follows: All ice hockey coaches and instructors of registered USA Hockey Youth/High School, Disabled, Girls’/Women’s 19 & Under and below programs must properly wear an ice hockey helmet during all on-ice sessions, including practices, controlled scrimmages and coach and referee clinics (seminars). “Every year there are injuries to coaches that could have been prevented by wearing a helmet,” USA Hockey President Ron DeGregorio said of the change in policy. “This legislation represents a positive step forward for the safety of our coaches.” The Advantages of Cross-Ice Practicing and Playing The cross ice program, is based on a model of practicing hockey across the 80 – 90 foot width of the ice surface as compared to practicing and playing lengthways along the full 185 – 200 foot length of the ice surface. This cross-ice practicing and playing model has been used in many of the leading hockey nations in the world for a number of years and has stood the test of time. It has been shown that children who begin their hockey training in this environment have an outstanding hockey experience. (more) Find out what youth ice hockey is all about: WWW.ONEGOAL.COM
