3. What Do We Control? Bill Tierney (Paraphrasing):
The two most important parts of the game are goaltending and face-offs. As officials, you have no part in goaltending.
But, you dictate everything that happens on the face-off.

Restarts:
They can’t do anything until we blow the whistle. Let’s make sure no one gets an advantage

15. Pace Cadence Steps Away
Consider your own movement
Are you herky-jerky with your movements?
Are they sudden and explosive?
Are they causing the players to move?
Consider slow and deliberate
If you are dealing with unruly coaches - “he’s early every time!!!” hold the face-off players longer, and tell them they’re going to be down there a while because you’re frustrated with the coaches.
Give a very loud set
Walk out at a snail’s pace
How quickly or slowly we do things can influence whether or not we “make” players violate

16. Moving Away Slowly: A good example

17. When Face-Off Violations Happen:
Official who called the violation makes the signal
If you’re explaining, and that explanation requires two colors, insert the word ball after the team color receiving possession:
“White’s early! Green Ball! (pointing)”
In 2-man: trail official restarts play
In 3-man: single side official starts play, other two officials make sure no one leaves the box
Make sure they let you get the call out of your mouth before running up the field. If they don’t: bring them back
Infraction Explanation Examples:
“White’s early! Green Ball”
“White hooks him back under the elbow, that’s a hold! Green Ball!”
“Green is withholding! White ball!”

18. Good Single Side Restart in 3-man
