> > * Added a new rule (Rule 6-30-f) so that if a player intentionally is pushed > offside, the offside violation shall be nullified and play will continue. I was just talking about this situation with a hockey ref on Tuesday night. He has reffed amateur through some Div. I games (he reffed Alabama-Huntsville vs Army). Anyway, we were watching the Leafs-Kings overtime game and this happened (or something similar -- I don't quite remember), and I asked him directly "What happens when a player is pushed offsides -- is offsides called or does play simply continue, or what?" He said, without hesitation, that play continues without a call. Was he just making a judgement call, or are (were) the rules different at the level he was reffing? Actually, I am going to see him this evening, so I will ask about this in more detail, and I will also get some of his opinions on the other rule changes mentioned here. I also want to express my thanks to Craig for informing us of this very interesting and important (to us at least ;-) info. Also, thanks to Mike and Jim for their insight and pertinent questions.
