I know Hockey has been one of the few sports not to be defanged by constant rule regulations on safety.

So, to all those who watch more hockey than I do, and know more about the game. What do you think about this idea?

I am in no way a hockey fan (although I do want to start watching it this year). That being said, I can't see how this is a bad idea.

I voted "good" because I don't see how it could be bad ... however, I don't think it is necessary.  When outfielders are running to catch fly balls at the wall, they are usually looking the complete opposite direction than they are running.  Unless they have eyes in the back of their head, the warning track is all they have to let them know they are about to get smoked.

In hockey, players are never skating fast towards the wall while looking the opposite direction.  It's always in your peripheral, so you always know where it is.

Again, I don't see how it could hurt, so why not give it a shot.

As someone who watches a fair bit of hockey I say it's not needed, these guys have excellent situational awareness. What needs to happen is the God damn NHL has got to fix their officiating. Pluggers play under different rules than stars and post season has different rules than regular season. If the NHL starts being consistent in their call and starts handing out serious suspensions things will change immediately. Ya know what, make a team play short handed for the remainder of a game when there is a game misconduct. Fixed immediately, I guarantee it.

Agree.

Hockey players know when they're within 40 inches of the boards.  Good grief......

Wait a minute, the poll question asks "Good or Bad" but the answers are "Yes? No?" :-P Not necessary. Baseball players need a warning track because they are following a play in the opposite direction of the wall. Hockey players don't because the play is at the boards. They're facing the boards when dangerous hits happen, so it wouldn't help there, and people will still get tripped and crash into the boards, so the strip won't help there, either. I agree that there is a player safety issue, but I don't think this will do much.

Not sure it would help.  I agree with @Ernest Jones for the NHL level.  It may help for lower levels to train youth players on being aware of the boards location.

I don't think it'll do squat for the players but if it helps the incompetent buffoons that officiate, I guess that could be a good thing. Clearly they need some help. It's embarrassing how bad it is.

Avid hockey fan. This seems like an answer to a question nobody asked. NHL players know where they are on the ice. As others have said, if you want the boarding out of the game call it consistanly wheather it's on the 4th line enforcer or the top line center.

Respectfully,

QFT.

Totally unnecessary. The officiating is crap. Particularly the difference between the regular season and the playoffs: skill teams in the playoffs get hosed.

I voted yes, but I don't think this needs to be put in place for the NHL. I watch a ton of hockey. Seriously, I love it. For the professionals, it's unnecessary.

That being said, I think it is a great idea for the other levels of the game (I'd say high school and down). Young players that are not nearly as experienced or talented at controlling themselves on the ice could definitely benefit from it.

I don't think this is necessary at all. For starters, there's already the kickplate at the bottom of the boards that has a similar effect (that's not what it is intended for but it's a nice bonus). Secondly, this is not like baseball where players may not be looking in the direction they are headed (i.e. tracking a fly ball while going full speed toward the wall). If you do that in hockey then you are asking to get blindsided. Lastly, it's ugly and looks stupid.

Ok, I'll bite. Could you define or give an example of a "skill team"? ;-) As for the warning track, are we talking NHL or amateur ice hockey? It would be a good thing in amateur hockey, both for players and officials. In the NHL it is totally unnecessary. The players at the NHL level have an unreal sense of positional awareness, and do not need a "warning track". In a majority of hits along the boards, players will use the boards to their advantage, to absorb the force of a hit. In the NHL, predatory open ice hits where the head is the principle point of contact are the most dangerous.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
