• It should not be attached to the ice, to glide upon collisions, and should end 1–3 meters away from the corners.
• A centre spot denotes the center of the field and a circle of radius 5 m is centered at it. A centre-line is drawn through the centre spot and parallel with the short lines.<\/p>\n
• The skates, sticks and any tape on the stick must be of another color than the ball.<\/p>\n
• A ten minutes penalty is ordered, by protesting or behaving incorrectly, attacking an opponent violently or stopping the ball incorrectly to get an advantage.
