The refs in our no-check league will usually call interference if the first hit is a legal check or unintentional. Past that, you'll get tossed if you try and lay in hard hits to run somebody. It's D league for beginners and a lot of people bump into each other by merit of their skating inexperience, so we usually don't get too many checking calls. We did have a guy run our goalie during a shootout one night and I think he got suspended two games for that poo poo.

There is a guy who is a notoriously bad skater in my league. Well he's fast but can't loving stop to save his life. One game against us he went balls first into the post because he couldn't stop. Anyway, I got called on a trip on him when I was about a stride back from him and he tripped over his own feet. It was funny because he got all pissed thinking I tripped him. I've noticed the people who bitch the most about contact are the ones who never played in a check league before. Contact is probably the most natural thing about hockey.

Speaking of try-harding, are you generally allowed to pin the puck against the boards or no? We were killing a late-game penalty to hold on to a lead last night (4-0 but it was going to be our goalie's first shutout so I didn't want to ease up) and I got the puck in the in the offensive zone. I was't really in a good positioning to do anything and I had two guys coming at me so I just pinned it with my stick against the boards to kill time, the ref said next time it would be a delay of game. I swear I've seen guys do this in the NHL and we used to do it all the time in ball hockey but maybe it's different when someone isn't allowed to bump me off of it? Is that a real rule or just another one of my rookie league's made up rules?

In the NHL it's legit but in Hockey USA or whatever it is, their rule book does specifically mention that while this can be done you need to be making an effort to play the puck. So you can pin it to the boards to avoid losing it but then you have to make an effort to get out of the pin, obviously while maintaining possession. So basically you can't pin it and then fight to keep it pinned but can pin it for a small time to stop losing it initially but then have to go about trying to win the board battle.

So, our league normally has 5 divisions, but for summer, they are split between 3 divisions Division 1: 5 Teams from the top 3 divisions Division 2: 2 teams from the 4th division Division 3: 3 teams from the 5th division My team is at the bottom of the 3rd division, and we played a team of players from one division above us. The easily way better than us in every way. It is going to be entirely one-sided all night. So, our goalie was a bit late to the game, and was still getting ready at game time, and the ref continued to blow the whistle for us to start, so we started without a goalie and had 6 skaters. Here is how the opening sequence went: They win the faceoff to their left winger, he skates over the blue line and fires a slapshot at the wide open net. Goal, 5 seconds in. Well then. That was the only goal they scored without us having a goalie, and when one of their guys saw that our goalie was ready he was nice enough to give me the puck to ice so that our goalie could come into the game. We lost 13-3, and they had 54 shots on goal. Fun stuff.

That seems fair enough, thanks. I think my league uses modified Hockey Canada rules but they probably have something similar.

Another difference I didn't know for a long time was that USA Hockey does not issue a penalty for a player throwing the puck over the glass from his own end. Faceoff locations are also very different from the NHL, and don't always happen at a dot.

You get players doing some beyond borderline poo poo that gets let go but a guy misjudges a clear by 1' or something and gets 2 minutes. I get the reasoning behind the penalty but it's just too severe. Make it a no-shift change face off like icing or something.

I'm fairly sure that's an NHL-only thing as well. Goals off of faceoffs are rare enough in my beer leagues that icing the puck is a legit way to ease pressure on your guys if you get trapped in your own end. There's still a stigma against it though; people hate doing it, even if they're dying and can't break the puck out.

Some goons in the past have mentioned those leagues exist but they're mostly for the upper end of the skill levels and in busy locations where the officials are good enough to manage that sort of thing.

Unintentionally that's what I've been doing for a good couple weeks now, too, and I felt loving great last game  The only games I felt super lovely in have all been from sleep dep, hungover, or jet lagged.Now if only I'd ever do like cardio or anything else outside of skating.
