1. Do NOT shoot pucks at net when goalie not ready (i.e. during warm ups he can only face 1 shooter at a time, while setting up the post pegs, if he has his gloves off and taking a drink) 2. Do NOT crash the net (both forwards and defence need to be aware of where the goalie is) Just a reminder that this is a physical game and accidents do happen, so please be courteous. We are only playing shinny so if someone gets around you, let them have the breakaway, don't hook them, let's see who can have the most creative goals and saves for the goalies.
