[email protected]. Hi Kerry, I noticed when the Vancouver Canucks were playing San Jose last week, the Sharks pulled their goalie when down by two to go six on five. San Jose proceeded to ice the puck and were allowed to replace the sixth player with their goalie for the defensive zone faceoff. With the rule of not being able to make a line change after an icing, shouldnt the same rule apply to goalies? Thanks, Kyle Shanks Kyle, Rule 81.4 (Line Change on Icing) and Rule 82.1 (Line Changes) both reference specific situations which allow a team guilty of icing the puck to make a player substitution. These rules state, However, a team shall be permitted to make a player substitution for an extra attacker, to replace a goalkeeper who had been substituted for an extra attacker, to replace an injured player, or when a penalty has been assessed which affects the on-ice strength of either team. The determination of players on the ice will be made when the puck leaves the offending players stick. When the new icing rule was crafted, it was only logical (and in the best interest of the game) that these exemptions were added. Forcing a team to defend an end zone face-off without the benefit of their goaltender in the net would incur excessive punishment for an icing violation. The commonsense application to allow the goalie to return to his net following icing is consistent with the penalty shot rule (24.
Kellyn Acosta USA Jersey. 2) which states, if at the time a penalty shot has been awarded, the goalkeeper of the penalized team has been removed from the ice to substitute another player, the goalkeeper shall be permitted to return to the ice before the penalty shot is taken. Due to the unique duties that a goalkeeper performs, in addition to the extended privileges provided him, the goalie is allowed to return to his net after being substituted for an extra attacker. It is likewise unrealistic and potentially dangerous to force a player that is injured to remain on the ice following an icing infraction. As clearly defined in the rule, a team is allowed to substitute for an injured player. One time, I allowed a player that broke his skate during play to be substituted for following an icing infraction committed by his team. While this situation isnt specifically listed in the rule, since the players failed equipment rendered him unfit for play, it was just plain common sense to allow a substitution. It is also important to note Kyle, that goalkeepers substitution (return to the net) must be conducted within the same time frame as a regular line change. No extra time will be allotted to the goalkeeper coming off the bench, except in the case where an injury to a goalkeeper occurs. The referees should enforce the goalkeepers prompt return to the net to maintain the spirit and integrity of the Rule 81—Icing.
