Playing up the back wall...

Found this gem from Worlds in Durban in 1996 in my video collection. I still see this being done in the Netherlands...



Did you play in '96 Duck - could this be you?

Yes indeed.

Probably should have mentioned that this was 'play on'... how things have changed.

epic gloving, glad that's not play on anymore ;\

That's awsome. Just to note that particular player (not Duck) now plays with a more suitble glove and probably wouldn't be found doing that any longer. That glove you see in the vid could stop a bullet, not exactly made for finesse play. For what its worth he is also the tackler in the rugby tackle vid.
I would like to think there is loads and loads of video out there showing nice clean play by him... but well... he is a back.

tuck, i believe in this instance "back" is spelt L-I-A-B-I-L-I-T-Y

As Scott said, not me Jols. Wish I had been there. We had several backs during that time that insisted moving the puck up the wall like that was okay as long as the stick was touching the puck. We've got rid of some of them over the past few years out of their frustation at getting called for it. I would think they would have followed if you can't beat 'em, join 'em logic. But if you can't figure it out, you can't fix it.
