wow this is pretty hard to explain, theirs certian things like a hit is called a check and you cant check someone with 2 hands on your stick with your stick hitting your opponent and you cant use your elbow to hit some one and you cant trip anyone but hitting with your hip, shoulder or body is legal and fighting usually happenes which is one of the best parts of hockey thats what makes us hockey fans crazy but a fight you get penalized for its quite complicated but heres a site about the rules of hockey just incase your interested...learn and enjoy this is the best sport in the world

Some of these answers are right on. Linesmen do not step into the middle of heavyweights throwing bare-knuckle meathooks. They could literally get killed.\nWhen 2 players both drop their gloves to scrap, they are willing to go and the linesmen let them go.\nIf you watch more closely, you will see them step in AS SOON AS one player is at a disadvantage, or does not want to fight. They do not want anyone to get injured. And most hockey players will not keep pounding away after their opponent is down or if the linesmen have broken it up.\nOn some occasions you see some extra shots and most of the time it is because the other guy deserved it for other liberties taken in the past.

Yes, there is danger in everything, and sports given their nature involving some physical exertion can be dangerous. However, not all sports are equally dangerous. You're more likely to get injured playing hockey, football (american) or soccer than you are playing badminton or curling.

NO. HE IS NOT OUT IF HAPPEN AS YOU DESCRIBE.\n\nLEG STUMP LINE IS LEAST FACTOR TO CONSIDER THE L.B.W.\n\nOUTSIDE LEG STUMP? NO WAY.

An injured player can be excused from taking part in kicks from\nthe penalty mark.\nbut he cannot be replaced by another player. \n(only injured GK can be replaced IF the 3 substitutes has not already been used)\n\nI think an official FIFA medic must examine the player to determine if he is really injured or not, Or anyone who can't shoot will just fake injuries to escape taking a penalty.

Most likely not.  They are usually playing with some injury as it is  during the course of a tournament.  They would not want to pile on the extra doubles tournament because they are going to want to recover for their singles play,  It would be a good idea I think foe them to play, nut I do not see it happening.

Bertuzzi: The earliest date would be early December depending on how the rehab goes.\n\nGaborik: The groin still hurts a lot, and he isnt able to skate yet. He is set to attend a strengthening session soon in Vancouver and hopes to start skating by the end of next week. He will need a few weeks in practice to get back in shape so you are looking at a return around mid-December.

No actually, a recent study by the Energy Institute of Technology has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has played hockey recently. This is due to a complete loss of molecular activity in the neural membranes of the human cerebellum. it is estimated that approximately none in every 5 people have played hockey in at least the past "whenever".

A lot of things depend upon the answer you get.\n\nWhat are the categories?\nIs it a roto league? \nPoints league? Head to Head?\n\nHow many goalies are on your roster? \nAlways keep at least one backup in case of injury.\n\nFor the sake of argument, keep starting your primary goalies and see how your team is progressing. There's a lot of time left in hockey, 5 months. Don't make rash decisions too early.

Question is too broad.\n\nMuscles work no differently in ice hockey than any other time they are in use.  Muscles contract and relax based on chemical reactions within your body and your brain communicating what needs to happen when.  Practice allows your brain and muscles to learn what actions they need to take when to perform any task.

drink water, lots and lots of water, how you stretch-- go over to edge of hockey boxes that dont have glass, put one leg straight on the edge and one on the ice. toes your blades for awhile then bend down one touch your toes of the foot on the ice. repeat with other side. its called gatorade cuz ppl at the u of florida (the gators) developed it. when doing a one-foot spin touch foot to knee. learing to stop hockey-style (on the side) is mandatory for good stoping. back-stratch-spins are sometimes easier to do, so ask your coach

Hockey pucks are frozen to keep them more stable on the ice.  When they're frozen they bounce, wobble, skitter and skip less.

You can't leave hockey during the summer

Would that be possible in icehockey?

here is my opinion on it.  with hockey, the longer you play the harder and harder it is to maintain a level of excellence.  very few people can play hockey really well.  while the same is true for soccer, i think it is to a lesser degree.  i would chose soccer.

There are plenty of injuries to goalies and skaters that go unreported during the Finals, but the injury to Roloson  is the only goalie injury I remember that was severe enough to keep a goalie out of the lineup.
