Head Contact Rule
October 1, 2011
The new Head Contact Rule was unanimously approved at Hockey Canada̵s 2011 annual general meeting, held in May. The new rule calls for zero tolerance on any head contact in minor hockey and will come into effect immediately for the 2011-2012 season. The rule changes, combined with education, awareness, strong player development and respect for the game, will reduce injuries such as concussions and help to keep the game fun for all.
