AND THEY LOVE IT! it is an absolutely vital part of the great game we play! it shows off new skills, talents, tactics and the like, and is a great way for defenders to come up and score. so, they may not be completely safe, but is anything in hockey? i mean, we do play a game with a small hard ball and stick, so we all know the risks of getting hit. when you think about it, the chances of getting hit in a short corner are not all that different compared to any other play. with the time issue, wouldnt it take just as long, if not longer to set up a planned/tactical 4 vs 3? or do as Travis suggested and use a stop clock to reduce time wasting all in all, short corners enhance hockey. the skills, speed, tactics and defense all are a great spectacle of our sport. AS much as i am for the new play on rule, stop changing the rules!

One of the attractions of the sport compared to others is you have to actually be within a defined area to score a goal. This rule is just a step towards eliminatign the circle all together and allowing goals from anywhere. What next, 3 point goal if you score from outside the D but inside the 25? “attackers not having to touch the ball inside the attacking D if it comes off a defender and goes in the net for a goal”

I'm happy for tinkering with the rules for an improvement in the game. I don't miss off-side, handstops, rollins, or bully restarts and the play-on rule has changed the game forever.
