To answer the query...Rule 6-41.a. <stuff deleted> "The home team shall have the choice of ends to start the game. The home team player's bench shall be nearest the end selected." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPLY FROM: Breitner, Mike Date: Mon, 12 Dec 1994 18:32:51 +0001 Reply-To: Rick McAdoo <[log in to unmask]> Subject: BC third period switches Presuming that being closer to the defensive end is an advantage, why is BC allowed to always choose which end they will start with? Is this a home team choice by rule? Could BU or Maine just say, "tonight we want to start at the other end"? --------------- ---------------------- Rick McAdoo [log in to unmask] BC will return! GO EAGLES!
