Hockey somehow has the reputation for being a violent game. Which comes as quite a surprise to those of us actually know the game. Why we've seen bridge games at the senior center with more blood lust than the average hockey game. With all of these penalties to keep things in check, how could things possibly get out of control. Goodness knows that if said bridge players got penalized for snappy remarks and casual insults, they could hardly make it through a single game with a full complement of players. No, the big wigs in hockey have fixed the game so that players are so scared of getting a talking-to from the referee or an insulting remark from a rabid fan that they behave have like angels on the ice. But just in case, they keep some rules in place for the highly unlikely circumstance that a hockey player might possibly misbehave.

Learn what constitutes hooking, diving, holding, tripping, roughing and other niceties from this refined game. Not sure when you can elbow or push a hockey opponent, then this series is for you!
