>information on Hockey East's reaction to and findings of the accident. > >http://www.hockeyeastonline.com/presarch/0303/mar11sr.html In past seasons, Rule 6.3 applied only to deliberate attempts to injure. This season it was changed to: "SECTION 3. A player shall not injure, or deliberately attempt to injure an opponent, official, coach or any other non-playing person in any manner. P E N A L T Y D i s q u a l i f i c a t i o n ." Thus, HEA's rather strange remark: "The penalty, Attempt to Injure, does not require deliberate behavior." I think the Commish meant that Rule 6.3 no longer requires deliberate behavior. I do not recall this penalty being invoked at the Alfond this season, even though there were probably several injuries caused by an opponent. If one takes a slap shot from the blue line and an opponent is hit in the skate by the puck ... and gets a really painful bruise, is not the shooter open to disqualification according to 6.3?! cheers, wayne P.S. www.merrimack.edu has a message board where prayers and wishes may be expressed.
