Issues Pamphlets to Explain Recently Adopted Code You may not recognize amateur hockey this year unles you've been conversant with the professional rules. Since the 0. A. H. A. has adopted the pro, code almost lock, stock and barrel, it might be advis- able to brush up on the regulations before the season opens. The following synopsis has been issued to referees by the C. A. H. A.: Starting in the defensive zone, the puck may be passed or kicked for- ward and taken in the first blue line by any defending player. However, should the puck be pas- sed or kicked over the blue line any defending player who was in the dee fending zone when he puck crossed the blue line may skate up into the centre zone and play the Tuck. For a violation of this rule (that is for a defending player in the centre zone to take from the defend, ing zone) an offside is to be called and the face-off is to take place at the point where the puck crossed the line.

Centre Zone This brings the play to the centre zone. In this there is no offside, and the puck may be passed or kick- ed forward by attacicing players up to the second blue line. When the attack reaches the sec- ond blue line either the puck or the puck carrier trust be the first over the line. That is to say, the player in pos- session may carry or kick it across the line or pass it laterally or for- wardly into the third zone. When the puck or puck carrier crosses the second blue line all the players who were in the centre zone when the puck crossed the line may skate up and play the puck. The puck may be kicked across the second blue line or kicked by any player in the third zone. If an attacking player enters the third zone ahead of the puck or puck carrier play shall be stopped with a face-off at the blue line; should, however, nn attacking play- er crops the blue line and the puck does not enter the third zone play shall continue without interruption.
