2006-2010 IIHF CASE BOOK
The IIHF Case Book is a supplement to the IIHF Official Rule Book. It is
comprised of rule interpretations and clarifications, Referee and
Linesmen guidelines, techniques and instructions.
It also provides players, team officials, and the media with
clarification of the playing rules.Situations often develop during the
course of a game that require specific rulings or interpretations, and
an attempt has been made to provide an explanation that is compatible
with the spirit and intent of the rules of ice hockey, and the standard
of sportsmanship that players, team officials and game officials must
recognize and accept.

RULES BULLETIN
Since the 1999/2000 season, the IIHF has worked to improve the quality
of the game and the safety of the players while ensuring that the
contests are played within the rules governing the sport to promote the
positive image of hockey, and to give the opportunity for players to use
their skills for the benefit of fans to witness great performances on
the ice.
Each year, the IIHF has produced an IIHF Rules Emphasis Bulletin,
highlighting the rules which we should focus on in order to achieve this
goal. The bulletins are written for the benefit of our game officials,
players and coaches participating in IIHF competitions.
