 NCRRL
Bylaw Mandatory MouthGuards
Mouthguards are mandatory
for all players during NCRRL League play. Players identified
without mouthguards will be sent to their bench by the referee,
if they return without a mouthguard they will be assessed a
delay of game penalty.
This rule became effective
at the start of the 2010-2011 season. It applies to all ages,
U9 (Novice Rec) through to U19 (Belle), and all levels of play
in the NCRRL. The rule apples to all players, including goalkeepers.
Remember that the
mouthguard is not only protection for the teeth but it has been
shown to be an effective protection against concussions. We
hope that this rule will ultimately result in fewer injuries
to the players.
This rule does not
extend to ORA sanctioned tournament play.
Medical and Dental
exemptions will be permitted, these exemptions must be given
in writing to the head coach before the start of the season.
The head coach must show them to the referee before the game
starts.
ERRA
/ NCRRL POLICY ON PENALTIES
Ad
Hoc Committee Recommendations
At
the start of the 2009 / 2010 season the league and the association
presidents agreed to a policy to allow the NCRRL to track both
individual and the team's accumulation penalty minutes. Individuals
exceeding certain thresholds will be subject to disciplinary
hearings and possible suspension.
Teams accumulating an excessive number of penalty minutes may
also be subject to a disciplinary hearing.

Major Penalties –
Section 16 (Page 122 of Officials Rule Book and Case Book)
16.2
A Major penalty is committed if a player commits a boarding,
body contact, charging, cross checking or elbowing infraction
that includes initial contact to the head or contact from behind.
Should the on-ice official deem this contact was as a result
of any intent to injure a Match Penalty shall be assessed.
This rule ensures that offences
committed from behind or to the head are penalized more severely.
This new rule creates a more severe penalty for these offences,
but does not create a new penalty. The major penalty is only
applied for acts that are already illegal as “elbowing”,
“body contact”, etc.
Points of Emphasis (POE) –
2011-2012 playing season
POE are not new rules but refer to areas where we have
identified the need to re-emphasize these rules to ensure the
standard of play is consistent across Canada and with the directives
in our Rule Book.
The following are the POE for
this season:
Emphasis 1 - Cross-Checking
and Slashing Penalties
We need to consider intent & safety, not solely advantage
when assessing penalties for Cross Checking or Slashing. Both
of these infractions, involving the use of the stick can be
unsafe, regardless of advantage being gained or not.
Why the Emphasis?
Our game has evolved over the years and we have begun to allow
intentional infractions to occur as not deemed to be a significant
enough advantage. This has created, at times, situations where
physical contact is not penalized significantly enough and physical
play has become too prevalent in our sport.
Cross Checking
If player makes contact with a cross check by pushing their
stick outwards and onto an opponent, this must be called a penalty.
If a player keeps stick close to body and does not push, only
guides an opponent, this continues to NOT be a penalty.
Slashing
When a player checks opponent and contacts an exposed area (upper
arm or midsection) a penalty must be called.
When a player checks an opponent and contacts the stick followed
by the glove followed by the stick, etc, a verbal warning should
be given to the player, and a penalty may assessed for subsequent
offences.
When a player takes a one-handed swing at an opponent who is
going by them to try and slow them down – and makes contact,
a penalty must be assessed.
Emphasis 2 - Deliberate Contact
Around the Crease
Deliberately pushing an opponent into the crease to get a stoppage
in play is prohibited in the rules and should be enforced more
often:
If the official deems contact into the crease to be deliberate,
an Interference or Body Contact penalty will be assessed, depending
on the severity of the contact.
