Rule of checking from behind
NOAH VOSEN
NHL NHL
The NHL has many rules that need to be followed by players and coaches. The rule of checking from behind is a rule that needs to be enforced. Many young and old players have had serious injuries from this type of hit. When a checking from behind happens to a player an automatic game misconduct is assessed to the player who gave the hit. The NHL has enforced this law and made it impossible for a player to not get a minor or major penalty if you hit someone from behind.
Mikko Koviu
Mikko Koviu is the captain of the Minnesota Wild. He has the most points on the team and this coach Mike Yeo says “he is the backbone of the team” Mikko Koviu steps up every game to win. He will be playing in the 2012 All-Star game to represent the Minnesota Wild
Jack Jablonski Jack Jablonski is a great kid and an excellent hockey player. He is 16 years old lives in MN and goes to Benilde. One horrible day when he was playing Wayzata, he was checked from behind by 2 kids from Wayzata. He was later transferred to the emergency room and was paralyzed completely. On January 5th, 2012 he
was told that he will be completely paralyzed from the waist down. Everyone and MN has been supportive and been praying for him. I guess that’s why they call MN, “Minnesota Nice.” Many schools have raised a lot of money for his family and hockey players always remember #jabs when they touch the ice.
