  10. FACE-OFFS

  11. FACE-OFF OFFICIAL • Keep free arm at your side. Keep the whistle in your mouth, or get it up there as soon as you say “down”! • Position yourself where you are safe and can see sticks. • FREEZE once players are down. Put players down together. Get whistle to mouth as players go down. Say “SET”. Vary cadence! • The pause between “Set” and Whistle should vary between ½ to a full second. • The pause between “Down” and “Set” may be longer. Be sure players are SET. • If there is a violation and you haven’t blown your whistle yet, don’t. Signal (but do not say) illegal procedure, verbalize exact violation, and award possession. • Conduct the restart after a violation. • Stay “home”. No need to rush to goal- your partners have it. Watch face-off action. Watch for “pinning” with stick or body.

  12. FACE-OFF – Wing Officials • Along the wing-line as close to center as necessary (or use new optional positioning). • Don’t move between “Down” and whistle. • Move toward your goal on the whistle. • Cover restraining line, goal, end-line.
