I’m going to try and make it to Tuesday’s meeting, but it’s kinda squeezed between dinner, dog, and my quiz team, so I thought I’d put some stuff here as suggestions.

The first is just a general reminder for all refs (indeed, perhaps we should give all refs a copy of the local rulebook to add to the IIHF one) that there are no slap shots (above the knee) allowed in the B grade DIHL. That’s the primary difference between the grades (the other ones relate to minor ways in equipment, basically that elbow pads and shin pads and gloves don’t need to be ice hockey gear, they can be skating gear or something).

The other thing is that I’d like some clarity on intentional and accidental offsides. Basically when we should call it intentional and call it back to the low face-off spots of the offending team.

The last thing is that the DIHA rulebook was put through late last year. It’s kinda being worn in at the moment, and a couple of things have come to light which may need tweaking. But it’d be good for referees to be involved in that process, and to also make any suggestions that they want.
