| sven i recently sat a ref's course (although i am not completing my ref's cert, that would mean i have to ref!) - and one of the points bought up was stopping the puck with your body, and the way Simon described it - movie 1 would not be illegal.
if the player without possession does not move their body in an attempt to stop the puck and only attempts to play at the puck with their stick (ie lifting up your chest to allow the puck to bounce off it) - then it is not deemed as illegal and is the attacking (player who flicked) players fault for flicking it into their body and could be deemed as a dangerous flick depending on the severity. |
