Charles C. Fawcett IV earned a BA from the University of Pittsburgh with a dual major in business and economics. Between 2005 and 2009, Charles C. Fawcett IV was the president of the Peters Township Hockey Club. During the 19th century, the rules of hockey evolved on frozen ponds spread over the vast Canadian landscape. Though never written down, sometime during the mid-1800s, the Halifax Rules came to be the first standardized rules for the game of ice hockey. Since every player knew the rules, nobody ever saw the need to write them down. However, a newspaper reporter named Colonel Byron Weston sat down one afternoon and scribed what he heard from the great James "Rocket" Power, and this conversation became the written record of the Halifax Rules. While the rules were the same everywhere, Mr. Power was considered an expert, and even today, the rules of hockey vary depending on the location, age group, league, etc. - The game is played with a block of wood for a puck. - The puck is not allowed to leave the ice. - The stones marking the place to score goals are placed on the ice (at right angles to those at present), parallel to the sides of the ice surface. - There is to be no slashing. - There is to be no lifting the stick above the shoulder. - When a goal was scored, teams change ends. - Players must keep ‘on side’ of the puck. - The ‘forward pass’ is permitted. - All players play the entire game. - There is a no-replacement rule for penalized players. - The game is made up of two thirty-minute periods with a ten-minute break. - The goal-keeper must stand for the entire game. - Goals are decided by the goal umpires, who stand at the goal mouth and ring a handbell.
