1997 NHL Rulebook - Equipment Rules
Rule 20. Sticks
NOTE 1: When a formal complaint is made by the Captain or Alternate Captain of a team, against the dimensions of
any stick, the Referee shall take the stick to the Timekeeper's bench where the necessary measurement shall be made
immediately. The result shall be reported to the Penalty Timekeeper who shall record it on the back of the penalty
record.
If the complaint is not sustained, a bench minor penalty shall be imposed against the complaining club in addition to a fine
of one hundred dollars ($100).
NOTE 2:: A player who participates in the play while taking a replacement stick to his goalkeeper shall incur a minor
penalty under this rule but the automatic fine of two hundred dollars ($200) shall not be imposed. If his participation
causes a foul resulting in a penalty, the Referee shall report the incident to the Commissioner for disciplinary action.
NOTE 3: A request for a stick measure-ment in overtime of any game is permitted, provided that such a request is not
made following the scoring of a goal.
