I believe I have heard them say that players are given one warning in the faceoffs and instead of giving them a second warning or kicking them out of the faceoff they are assessed a penalty. I believe it is a new rule to cut down on time on faceoffs.

Two separate players (one each night) were called for "faceoff interference"  ????

What the heck is THAT?  Two minutes in the box was done. In tonight's game it was called a:  Bench minor- 2m Faceoff Violation. 


If anyone can offer any explanations I would love it.

Thanks
