jimdahl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 A good discussion of the recent NHL headshot injuries and what the rules actually are. Confusion reigns at Headshot Theater - SI NHL Red Light The NHL rules (particularly rule 48) are pretty clearly a mess. Given the recent attention in the NFL to concussions, and with Kariya out for the season and Crosby now sidelined due to one, will the NHL look at something like the IIHF's rule? Szymon Szemberg of the IIHF said in an e-mail Monday that in the IIHF rules casebook, “there is no such thing as a clean hit to the head. You hit the head, you are gone.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
