coachs corner

January has been a bit of a turning point for us, Its been nice to finally get some players back and start seeing the team at almost full strength for the first time this season, the results have followed alongside that and that’s a nice feeling and a positive one moving into the final stretch here.

Looking forward I’m hoping we can overturn the 2 goal deficit in the come this coming week the first leg was quite a frustrating night but I certainly don’t think we’re out of it and will give it everything we have to turn it around!

It’s been a tough season so far mainly down to injuries but credit to the boys in the room through everything we are still in a decent position, and a massive part of that is our home form which is also down to you guys the fans, we love the atmosphere here in hull and long may that continue!

WWW.HULLPIRATES.CO.UK Hull pirates THE GAME OF ICE HOCKEY The objective of hockey is simple: score more goals than the opposing team. Players are not allowed to kick the puck into the net or purposely direct it in with any part of their body. During regulation time, each team uses five skaters—three forwards and two defencemen—plus a goaltender. National Ice Hockey League games are contested over three 20-minute periods. If the score is tied after 60 minutes, the game moves to a five-minute, sudden-death overtime where the first goal wins. If the game remains tied after overtime, a shootout is held until a winner is determined. There are four officials in NIHL games—two referees and two linesmen. They stop play for penalties and for things like offside or icing. Offside: when players enter the offensive zone before the puck gets there. Icing: when a team shoots from its side of the centre red line across the opposing goal line. Each play begins with a faceoff and ends when an official blows the whistle or a goal is scored. HOCKEY TALK For fans new to the game, hockey has a language of its own. The following guide should be helpful in picking up hockey's lingo. Back Check: To hinder an opponent heading toward and into the defending zone. Blue Lines: The pair of one-foot wide blue lines. These lines break up the ice into attacking, neutral and defending zones. Goal Crease: Area directly in front of the goaltender. Offensive players who do not have possession of the puck may not enter. Deke: To fake an opponent out of position. Face Off: The dropping of the puck between one player from each team to begin or resume play. Forecheck: To check an opponent in his end of the rink, preventing an offensive rush. Freezing the Puck: To hold the puck against the boards with either the skate or stick to get a stoppage of play. Goal Line: The red line which runs between the goal posts and extends in both directions to the side boards. Penalty Box: The area opposite the team benches where penalized players serve time. Power Play: A power play occurs when a team has a one-man or two-man advantage because of an opponent's penalties. Pulling the Goalie: Replacing the goalie with an extra skater in a high-risk attempt to tie the game. This primarily occurs when a team trails, usually by one goal, late in the game. Save: A shot blocked by the goaltender, which would have bean a goal had it not been stopped. Screened Shot: The goaltender's view is blocked by players between he and the shooter. Slap Shot: Hitting the puck with the blade of the stick after taking a full backswing. Slot: The area immediately in front of the goal crease. It is from this zone that most goals are scored and where the most furious activity takes place. Splitting the Defence: The player with the puck attempts to squeeze between the opponent's defensemen. Top Shelf: Term used to describe when an offensive player shoots high in an attempt to beat the goalie by shooting the puck into the top portion of the net.

Wraparound: A player skates around behind the opposing goal and attempts to wrap the puck around the goal post and under the goalie. Wrist Shot: Hitting the puck with the blade of the stick using a quick snap of the wrist rather than a full back swing.

Penalties and Referee’s Signals

WWW.HULLPIRATES.CO.UK Hull pirates Basic Hockey Rules HOCKEY MADE SIMPLE

THE PLAYERS Goaltender:: The goalie's primary task is simple - keep the puck out of his own net. Offensively he might start his team down the ice with a pass, but seldom does he leave the net.

Defensemen: These players try to stop the incoming play at their own blue line. They try to break up passes, block shots, cover opposing forwards (centre and wings) and clear the puck from in front of their own goal. Offensively, they get the puck to their forwards and follow the play into the attacking zone, Positioning themselves just inside their opponent's blue line at the "points."

Centre: The quarterback on the ice, the centre leads the attack by carrying the puck on offense. He exchanges passes with his wings to steer the play toward the opposing goal. On defence, he tries to disrupt a play before it gets on his team's side of the ice.

Wings: The wings team with the centre on the attack to set up shots on goal. Defensively, They attempt to break up plays by their counterparts and upset shot attempts.

THE OFFICIALS Referee: The referee supervises the game, calls the penalties, Determines if goals are scored and handles faceoffs at centre ice at the start of each period.

Linesmen: Two are used. They call offside, offside pass, icing and handle all faceoffs not occurring at centre ice. They do not call penalties, but can recommend to the referee that a penalty be called.

Goal Judges: One sits off-ice behind each goal and indicates when the puck has crossed the red goal line by turning on a red light just above his station. The referee can ask his advise on disputed goals, but the referee has final authority and can overrule the goal judge.

Official Scorer: He determines which player scores and credits assists if there are any. He might consult the referee, but the scorer is the final authority in crediting points.

HOCKEY'S THREE MAIN RULES Offsides: When any member of the attacking team precedes the puck over the defending team's blue line.

Offside (or two-line)Pass: When a player passes the puck from his defending zone to a teammate beyond the red centre line.

Icing: When a player shoots the puck across the centre red line and past the opposing red goal line. Icing is not called if the player's team is killing a penalty, a teammate of the player shooting the puck touches it before a player from the opposing team, The defending goalie touches the puck first or if the puck travels through the crease (semicircle of blue paint at the "mouth" of the goal) on its way to the red line.

THE PENALTIES A team plays shorthanded when one or more of its players is charged with a penalty. However, no team is forced to play more than two players below full strength (six) at any time. If a third penalty is assessed to the same team, it is suspended until the first penalty expires. When a penalty is called on a goalie, a teammate serves his time in the penalty box.

Minor Penalty: Two minutes - Called for boarding, charging, cross-checking, elbowing, holding, hooking, high-sticking, interference, roughing, Slashing, spearing, tripping and unsportsmanlike conduct.

Major Penalty: Five minutes - Called for fighting or when minor penalties are committed with deliberate intent to injure. Major penalties for slashing, spearing, high-sticking, butt-ending and cross-checking carry automatic game misconducts.

Misconduct: Ten minutes - Called for various forms of unsportsmanlike behaviour or when a player incurs a second major penalty in a game. This is a penalty against an individual and not a team, so a substitute is permitted.

Penalty Shot: A free shot, unopposed except for the goalie, Given to a player who is illegally impeded from behind when in possession of the puck with no opponent between him and the goal except the goalie. The team which commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot, whether it succeeds or not.

Delayed Penalty: The whistle is delayed until the penalized team regains possession of the puck.
