Interpreter's Corner

Arm Sleeves - 1/3/2012 - We should now all be clear on the wearing of arm sleeves.  The rule still states that they must be worn for medical purposes.  Beginning in the 2011, 2012 season the medical purpose is now determined between the player, coach, AD and the NHIAA.  As officials, we need only ask if the player has the necessary NHIAA waiver and that it is present at the game.  We do still rule on the legality of the arm sleeve based on the color requirements and logo requirements specified in rules 3.5.3a-c and 3-6.
