This was my favorite rule when I was a linesman.
Rule 14 – Captain of Team
(a) One Captain shall be appointed by each Team, and he alone shall have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules, which may arise during the progress of a game. He shall wear the letter “C”, approximately three inches (3”) in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of his sweater.
In addition, if the permanent Captain is not on the ice, Alternate Captains (not more than two) shall be accorded the privileges of the Captain. Alternate Captains shall wear the letter “A” approximately three inches (3”) in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of their sweaters.
Ice Hockey actually has a substantial amount of rules regarding conduct towards officials. Sometimes I think it’s because of the violent aspect of the game.
One season I was on a very high scoring team in an in house league. The rink had a bar upstairs and during the rougher games the place would become a zoo. It got so bad at one point that the whole team would have to walk out of the locker room together to insure each other’s safety. To many parents looking to settle things off the ice.
