Rule 504. Goal Judge
- There shall be one GOAL JUDGE at each goal. They shall not be
members of either team engaged in a game, nor shall they be replaced during
its progress unless after the commencement of the game it becomes apparent
that either Goal Judge, on account of partisanship or any other cause, is
guilty of giving unjust decisions, in which case the Referee may appoint a
replacement.
- Goal Judges shall be stationed behind the goals during the
progress of play, in properly screened cages, so that there can be no
interference with their activities; and they shall not change goals during
the game.
- In the event of a goal being claimed, the Goal Judge of the goal
shall decide whether or not the puck has passed between the goal posts, under
the crossbar and entirely over the goal line. His decision is simply ``goal''
or ``no goal''.
