PHEW HOCKEY FREE
Players must not throw any object or piece of equipment onto the field, at the ball, or at another player, umpire or person.įollowing a penalty corner, if the ball hits any discarded equipment, such as a hand protector, knee pads or a face mask, a free hit should be awarded if this occurs outside the circle, and a penalty corner awarded if this occurs inside the circle. Rule 9.16 – Throwing Objects on the Pitch If the player defending the stroke is otherwise taking part in the game as a field player, they may wear only a face mask as protective equipment. Rule 13.7 – Protective Equipment on Penalty StrokesĪlso of note is the penalty stroke provision 13.7(e), which should be (f) because it’s a stand-alone clause, again I digress: – permitted to wear a smooth preferably transparent or single coloured face mask or metal grill face mask, which follows the contours of the face, when defending a penalty corner or penalty stroke for the duration of that penalty corner or penalty stroke including the immediate taking of a free hit awarded after a penalty corner when passing the ball to another player. – are permitted to wear any form of body protection (including leg protection, or kneepads, when defending a penalty corner) underneath normal playing clothing knee pads, used for this purpose, may be worn outside the socks provided that their colour is exactly the same colour of the socks. – are permitted to wear hand protection which does not increase the natural size of the hand significantly any hand protection used, both for normal play and to defend penalty corners, must be comfortably into an open-ended box of What can they wear, and what happens if they fail to get it off the pitch, and when do they have to take it off?Īs always, the ever-engaging rules recitation: Rule 4.2 – Hand and Body ProtectionĤ.2’s guidance, which should be a sub-clause, because it’s an actual rule and not guidance, but I digress, reads: I'm not going to lie: there are way more than just one rule involved today, but that's what makes umpiring fun!Īnyway, let’s have a chat about protective equipment worn by field players on penalty corners and penalty strokes. Hey third team friends! I’m Keely Dunn of FHumpires with another Ruley Tuesday, a hot take on one rule in the book. We’re going all alliterative on this episode of Ruley Tuesday! Let’s do this.
