Conditioning drills per Bylaw 17.1.7.2 that may simulate game activities are permissible, provided no offensive or defensive alignments are set up and no equipment related to the sport is used.

Effective Date:Immediate
Proposal Category: Amendment
Topical Area: Playing and Practice Seasons
Rationale: Sports medicine professionals with extensive experience in ice hockey recommend that student-athletes enjoy the protection of full padding when conditioning on the ice. Furthermore, they advise that without a puck, projectile or other similar object, there is little chance that the conditioning session would devolve into a skills practice.
Estimated Budget Impact: None.
Impact on Student-Athlete's Time (Academic and/or Athletics): None.
