Proposal 13: Distances [ Revision 3 ]
Committee: 14. HockeySubmitted on 2025-03-19
Status: Passed on April 10, 2025
Background
We have a distance of 1m from the wall/goal where a free shot is taken. This distance is too small such that the player executing the free short can move around freely and position her/himself towards the ball as she/he likes.

New: [...] In the event that an advantage was not gained, the referee should enforce the appropriate penalty from the initial point of infringement or, when the penalty has occurred within the goal area, the closest corner mark or 2 m in front of goal line. In cases where an infringement occurs outside the goal area and within 2 m of the sideline, the free shot shall be given from a spot located 2 m from the sideline.[...]
