The following clip is an example of the scenario covered by this rule change: youtube.com/watch?v=XbP_0i…

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.
