Skill Question of the Week from HTRH: The Quiz Book
Learning From Each Other...
-Situation-Error-Question-
This is a short LFE regarding warm-up length. There have been several instances in January and February that teams have been permitted to have 5 minute warm-ups in A and AA hockey.
-What we Learned-
All warm-ups in A and AA hockey are 2 minutes long. Never 5 minutes. This rule is SR-7 in the HW rule book. Do not let a coach sway your judgment; know the rules.
