Athletistic / Hockey. The chief referee of the KHL, Alexey Anisimov, said that a new rule may appear in the league in the future. The part-time official is also a member of the league’s board of directors.
“Now we have some interesting ideas – from the simplest to those that can really be useful. It is too early to announce them, because now we are only discussing them on the sidelines among colleagues. “
One story involves the puck leaving the offensive/defensive zone. Perhaps we could try in the preseason tournament or in the MHL not to stop the game in cases where the puck hits the net in the end zone and then falls to the ice. I’m talking about those moments where either the goalie hits it there, or it gets there after a throw and a bounce from the defender’s stick.
Continue the game and score the goal? Just keep playing. Except those moments when the puck completely left the ice. But all this implies a change in the rules, since we have to take care of throwing the puck. If the defending hockey player makes a takedown and the puck remains in the net, then it is a minor penalty; if she goes back on the ice, then nothing.
There are a lot of nuances to this question. And when there is a discussion about the evolution of the rules, everything is broken down into points. You always have to analyze what will involve one, two, three. It’s one thing to declare, and another to understand the consequences of the new rule, ”Anisimov is quoted in the Championship.
Alexey Anisimov worked as a hockey referee until the 2015/2016 season, after which he moved to a managerial position.
