USA Hockey Rule Changes for 2013/14 - 2016/17 Playing Seasons

USA Hockey has updated the "Official USA Hockey Ice Markings" for the upcoming 2013-14 season.  Rink owners and operators can take comfort in the fact that these markings will remain in place through the 2016/2017 season as the USA Hockey Rules Committee has changed the rule change years.  Previously rule change proposals were voted in every every 2 years.  The new change only allows rule changes every 4 years.  The changes are effective September 1, 2013.  

Changes to the Ice Markings:

  • The "HASH MARKS" are spaced at four feet (4').  Previously the hash marks were spaced at three feet (3').  The change places the hash marks at a width that matches the "PLAYER RESTRAINT LINES".
  • The five inch (5") lines that extend into the light blue area of the "GOAL CREASE" have been removed.
