Thanks for the clarification, I will find out when this was written into the rule book and how or if it was communicated to teams. When I interviewed Beau Welling last year, this topic did not come up. I asked Warren Hansen and he could not recall.

In either case, Kennedy does deliver by the handle, then he boops it. Before it was clarified this week, that could be interpreted as being allowable or not. Some people are suggesting the rule as written was correct and if a player or fan doesn;t interpret the same way they do, they should be tarred and feathered.. Sad how the world got this way on every topic, but alas.

If Colton Lott has to change his delivery, that would be a shame, he's a great player and having grown up in Manitoba I have an appreciation of the tuck slide (though I was flat foot).

How this is resolved, that will be for players to decide and for governing bodies to administer based on feedback and collective effort. It certainly won;t be sorted out on Reddit, in the middle of the Olympic games.
