Hi All,
just a question, to see if has been tested in another place. We usually play at club games, without "white sticks at one side, black sticks at the other" rule. Basically, not all the members of the same team have same stick/cap color.
It's something we started mainly because the lack of discipline of some players, unable to get decent painted sticks every hockey night.
But we found (or think that) it forces the players to look more carefully, paying more attention to bodies, swimsuits, positions, situations, etc.Usually, one thing hard to teach is to lift the head up, and start looking not only at the puck, but at the whole picture as well.
Just to know if someone else tried it, and get some opinions about it.

Regards,
Sebastián
