It was used in an experimental manner last year in Denver and Colorado Springs and met with great success. Though it would normally require a three year evaluation period, the WCHA petitioned the NCAA to allow video replay and it is allowed for in this year's rule book. Other leagues will be watching the WCHA to note the system's success.<BR/><BR/>Starting the last weekend of October, each rink will have a replay person and monitor. The replay person will be in the press box and will operate the replay monitor located in the penalty box area. Only the referee may call for a replay and the replay person will display the desired footage on the on-ice monitor. The replay person will not provide and input on the replay and cannot suggest a replay. Coaches and players cannot call for replays. Finally, the replay system will only be used to review goals, not penalties or any other plays.<BR/><BR/>Replays should be non-intrusive, taking 30-45 seconds unless there's a malfunction. A new system this year, there may be some technical difficulties, but those will be resolved."dggoddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745826019598020062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-50439445250835004872007-12-10T15:45:00.000-06:002007-12-10T15:45:00.000-06:00Motzko's coaches show could be interesting tongigh...Motzko's coaches show could be interesting tongight if he's asked about it.

They have used it many times to determine if a player had a skate in the goalie crease area out front of the goal line, and they have used it for "goalie interference" (see this exact video) interpretations many other times regarding player/goalie contact.

UAA netminder made a save, the ref said no goal and play continued for several minutes. DU threw a fit, they reviewed it (which was inconclusive) and gave DU the winning non goal. I received an email from the league saying they blew the call, but UAA didn't get said "apology".

I'm not a walking rulebook, so you might want to check it out, but I read a few people advocating that point of view on USCHO. Lots of little things like that get by most of our eyes and we think the officials are dumbasses, but they really only tend to screw up the big things that actually matter.Booshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13745543793647955307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-45348378634203246362007-12-09T19:31:00.000-06:002007-12-09T19:31:00.000-06:00Yes this officiating never used to bother me so mu...Yes this officiating never used to bother me so much but after watching the sioux gopher game on saturday they missed a game changing goal.

Second, we all know WCHA refs suck. Those things duly noted, I wonder if the refs got stuck between a rock and a hard place on this particular play. For whatever reason, they didn't call the interference. They also didn't think the puck went in the net. Had they known it was in the net, they may have called the interference. But then, 20-30 seconds later, the DU players (or maybe even one of the linesmen) convince Schmidt that the puck was sitting in the goal. Assume that to all be true. Given this initial incompetence of the non-call, what is Schmidt to do now? Clearly, he must review the play. But it's not like he can suddenly call goalie interference two minutes after the play ended, can he? And if he's reviewing a play where a call wasn't made, and the puck is in the net, he can't simply refuse to count the goal, can he? <BR/><BR/>Putting yourself in Schmidt's shoes a few seconds after the non-call, what would you do differently? Make the painfully delayed call in the name of ultimate equity? Refuse to review the play when you have good reason to believe your bosses will see the replay of a puck in the net that you never saw and refused to think about?<BR/><BR/>I don't know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12302090.post-25369174387971778572007-12-08T18:55:00.000-06:002007-12-08T18:55:00.000-06:00Its part of the WCHA referee's new extended "even ...Its part of the WCHA referee's new extended "even it up" policy.
