I can't find a rule in the IIHF rulebook to support the claim that "international rules allow body checks only behind the blue lines" and I honestly can't remember that being a rule, but don't want to edit that out in case I've just missed it. I think it should be removed if we can't find a reference for it, though. It seems to me that specific rules should be cited. | I can't find a rule in the IIHF rulebook to support the claim that "international rules allow body checks only behind the blue lines" and I honestly can't remember that being a rule, but don't want to edit that out in case I've just missed it.

Tangentially related, I want to cite the rule books multiple times. Is there a way to do that without creating a new footnote for each citation? | Tangentially related, I want to cite the rule books multiple times.

Name
There's a dialect difference on the name of this game. In North America, the game played on ice is simply "hockey" and the related game played on grass is "field hockey". Various other parts of the English-speaking world call the game played on grass "hockey" and the one on ice "ice hockey". As a Canadian, I of course want to move this article to "hockey"; the term "ice hockey" strikes me as an abomination.
I'm not sure what CZ should do about this. Perhaps "hockey" needs to be a disambiguation page?
A similar problem turns up with football; text there might be a model for how to deal with it. Sandy Harris 02:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- I don't wanna get involved with something like this, hehe! But probably the discussion at the football page would show how it should be handled. As I recall, *that* problem was eventually resolved.... Hayford Peirce 02:55, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Rule?
I can't find a rule in the IIHF rulebook to support the claim that "international rules allow body checks only behind the blue lines" and I honestly can't remember that being a rule, but don't want to edit that out in case I've just missed it. I think it should be removed if we can't find a reference for it, though. It seems to me that specific rules should be cited.
Tangentially related, I want to cite the rule books multiple times. Is there a way to do that without creating a new footnote for each citation? Esther Fraser 03:09, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
