  1. End Zone Positioning Northern Ontario Hockey Association

  2. WHEN PLAY IS IN THE END ZONE FOLLOW NORMAL END ZONE POSITIONING END ZONE POSITIONING At The Net Half Piston Home Base

  3. Half Piston • Area between Home Base and the near goal post, at the bottom of the face-off circle, usually in line with the face-off dots • On an imaginary line joining home base and the near goal post • When the puck is on the opposite side of the ice

  4. HALF PISTON HP AS PLAY MOVES BEHIND THE GOAL LINE OUR SIGHTLINE IS RESTRICTED BY THE NET AND GOOD POSITION AND ICE LOCATION SHOULD THE PLAY MOVE OUT WE NEED TO CREATE A ZONE TO WORK IN TO GIVE US BETTER VIEW OF THE PLAY

  5. HALF PISTON HP WHEN PLAY GOES BEHIND THE GOAL LINE TOO MANY OFFICIALS GO INTO “NO MAN’S LAND TO GAIN SIGHTLINES WHILE THEY DO GAIN SIGHTLINE THEY LOSE ICE ADVANTAGE THIS IS NOT GOOD POSITIONING

  6. Home Base • 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) off the boards, half way between goal line and face-off circle hash marks • Puck is on the official’s side of the net

  7. HOME BASE HP HB WHEN PLAY MOVES TO YOUR SIDE OF THE ICE YOU MOVE TO HOME BASE CREATING A ZONE USING THE BUMP AND PIVOT TO GIVE YOU GOOD ICE ADVANTAGE WHEN THE PLAY LEAVES THE ZONE

  8. At the Net • Anywhere around the net that gives the official the best view to see if the puck goes over the goal line • Closer to the net than half piston • Ideally at the corner of the net 2-3 feet from goal line • Never switch sides or cross over to other side during play

  9. AT THE NET ATN HP WHEN PLAY IS AROUND THE NET CREATE A ZONE TO WORK IN TO GET THE BEST VIEW OF THE PUCK ENTERING THE NET BE READY TO SKATE BACKWARDS QUICKLY WHEN THE PLAY LEAVES THE NET AREA WHICH PUTS YOU IN GOOD POSITION SHOULD THE PLAY LEAVE THE ZONE

  10. MANY OFFICIALS TEND TO “CHEAT” AND DON’T COME INTO THE END ZONE ANY FURTHER THAN SHOWN HERE. THIS LEAVES THEM IN BAD POSITION TO VIEW A PLAY AT THE NET WHEN PLAY ENTERS THE ZONE R

  11. End Zone Maneuvers The Bump • Move along the boards from Home Base, in either direction, to stay out of the play • When play is leaving zone, bump until play develops The Pivot • Used to maintain position while allowing play to pass quickly behind • Step off boards as play approaches enough to allow play to pass behind • As play passes, pivot to keep the play in sight and back to the boards, then move back to Home Base

  12. BUMP HB HB AS PLAY MOVES TOWARDS YOU, BUMP THE BOARDS TO STAY OUT OF THE WAY WHEN PLAY MOVES, RETURN TO HOME BASE OR HALF PISTON

  13. PIVOT HB HB HB WHEN PLAY PASSES, PIVOT TO KEEP THE PLAY IN SIGHT AS PLAY APPROACHES, PIVOT OFF THE BOARDS TO LET THE PLAY PASS YOU

  14. Puck Possession • How does it affect your positioning?

  15. WHEN THE DEFENDING TEAM GETS CONTROL WE MUST ANTICIPATE THE CHANGE OF PLAY AND PREPARE TO MOVE WITH IT ATTACKING TEAM IN CONTROL OF THE PUCK WE MAINTAIN STANDARD END ZONE POSITIONING AS PLAY BEGINS TO MOVE OUT, WE MOVE WITH IT L A HOLDS POSITION UNTIL PUCK CROSSES THE LINE THEN MOVES WITH THE PLAY A D D D A HP L HB THIS LINESMAN MUST NOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FLOATER-CREATE A ZONE TO WATCH FOR AN OFFSIDE

  16. Pursuit of Play • Play on your side – 15-20 feet behind play • Play on far side – 8-10 feet behind play • Blue line to goal line – MUST KEEP SKATING • Crossing over to other side of rink (behind net or middle of ice) is not acceptable! • Use tight turns (vs. stops and starts) when play changes direction

  17. PURSUIT OF PLAY R R R R R THE REFEREE MUST SKATE HARD THROUGH THE NEUTRAL ZONE, LOOKING BACK AT VARYING LOCATIONS TO WATCH PLAYERS BEHIND THE PLAY WHEN PLAY LEAVES THE ENDZONE AND CONTINUES INTO THE OPPOSITE ENDZONE UNTIL HE ASSUMES GOOD END ZONE POSITIONING

  18. Common Mistakes • Over skating (over reacting) • Not anticipating movements/failure to get back to home base • Not moving to the net quickly enough on close plays
