This is a "mandatory" video for the parents to watch.

We will see penalties this year that will seem marginal as referees are being urged to be very liberal on calling penalties that look like there is any chance of intent to punish or not play the puck. The intent by USA and Minnesota hockey is to change the culture of checking from a "Finish your check" mentality to a mentality that is solely for the purpose of gaining possession of the puck. 

Watching this video will help you understand and help avoid any emotions that may arise from a perception in a "weak call" by refs when they are only doing their jobs. 

This is a good thing for Hockey and for our kids. Please support this effort in conversations with your kids as we work through this cultural shift in the game of hockey. There are sure to be frustrations along the way.
