Bully (hockey)

A bully is a kind of play resuming (face-off) in thehockeyfield. In this situation there are two players facing each other with the hockey sticks on the ground to the right of the ball. then click them once (up to 2003 was the rule that there had to be three times tapped[1] ) with the flat side of the sticks against each other above the ball, before they are allowed to decide which may come in ball possession.

A bully can be deployed by a referee to resume the game as a means in the event of disagreement after a violation, an injury treatment or by any other reason (for example after intervention of the video referee) where no penalty can be imposed. A bully is then taken as a rule at the place where the game was interrupted, but not within 15 meters of the end line. [2]

Beginning In 1981 was the bully replaced by the exit as a means to start and resume the match.
