Very useful thread for all players, coaches and clubs. We can confirm that the International Hockey Federation updated rules for 2022 will apply with immediate effect.
Critically, despite this rule change, the priority is on safety/danger. See the following slides from the International Hockey Federation briefing for further guidance, particularly point 2 on the first slide.
We are receiving reports of yellow/red cards in multiple Hockey Ireland & provincial matches for the past two saturdays for dissent towards the umpire. Just a reminder... whatever the decision, the umpires are doing their best and that behaviour is not acceptable.
We will always welcome anyone to attend the fundamentals of umpiring courses to learn about the principles of fairness and ensuring safety to all. Equally recommend players, coaches, parents + spectators do the Hockey Ireland online rules test to improve their rules knowledge.
What a fantastic way of spreading the message and educating fans on the intricacies of officiating a sport... From the international governing body no less! If you're ever unsure of interpretations in hockey - a good place to start is Keely | FHumpires ππ¨π¦π
So Leinster HUA fielded a #thirdteam containing 217 senior international caps for the leinsterhockey Schoolboys Cup Final today... That is some service! ππ»ππ» Carol Metchette (134) & Bruce Bale (83) *Not including another 198 video umpire caps.

Leinster HUA was glad to be able to support Irish Hockey Umpires, leinsterhockey and Hockey Ireland with this Sport Ireland report. It's up to all of us to help prevent abuse of umpires during and after matches by players, coaches or spectators. #ThirdTeam #Respect
