Y'know I thought such a rule existed too, but if it does, it
doesn't seem to compel the UVM band to stop playing when the puck is
dropped, or prevent them from routinely starting a forty-second-long
piece fifteen seconds before the faceoff. Kind of a shock after
noticing the weekend before how careful the Cornell band was to stop
playing the moment play started.
