Hockey Equipment

The District 1 would like to remind all hockey players and parents that mouth guards MUST be attached (tethered) to the helmet.
This clarifies rule 304(c) for Mouthpiece violation. The referee may issue a warning before assessing a "misconduct" penalty.
Rule 304(c) is clear that all players, including goalkeepers, are required to wear a colored (non-clear) internal mouthpiece that covers all the remaining teeth of one jaw, customarily the upper.
