I was wondering if the five second rule would move our Gopher games along
any faster with all the tv timeouts we have.  But I have to admit that the
refs did use it, and one time one of our forwards was not there in time,
and the asssoc. ref dropped the puck anyway!  I think this rule is great.
It will force the players to keep their heads in the game and not have time
to think about poking that guy next to him as often while waiting for a
face off.

I am so glad hockey is back!
