Coach Winsor's Rules Adopted

The Executive Committee of the Amateur Hockey League has officially adopted the rule that no player can be checked by another player unless he is actually playing the puck or within striking distance of it. This idea was introduced by Coach Winsor of the University and B. A. A. sevens and will tend to make the game faster and more spectacular. On recommendation of Coach Winsor it was further decided to establish a "neutral zone" about each goal, definitely fixing the distance a player may past forward from behind his goal and the distance he may come out to check an opponent.
