1. HOOKING
The use of the stick on the body of the puck-carrier or the non-puck-carrier to impede the progress or to gain territorial advantage shall be penalized.
The stick placed on the opponent’s body and parallel to the ice surface shall be considered as being in a ‘danger zone’. Once the stick is in this position, any tug or pull of consequence shall be penalized.
Consequence shall be interpreted as:
• any loss of momentum
• causing diminished space between the players
• impeding the opponent’s progress
• causing the opponent to lose balance to any degree
• reducing the opponent’s ability to pass or shoot the puck or to receive a pass
Placing the stick between the opponent’s legs shall be considered as in a ‘danger zone’.
If movement, either lateral or otherwise, is restricted in any fashion, a minor penalty for hooking shall be assessed. Should the opponent be caused to fall by this action, a minor penalty for tripping shall be assessed.
