GET RID OF THE DIVING RULE

VERY IMPORTANT !

LET'S PETITION THE AHL / NHL TO "DROP THIS NONSENSE RULE OF DIVING" ( which is tagged on with Hooking / Tripping penalties) & GET BACK TO GOOD HOCKEY !

I Suppose This was Diving ... 

So Bobby Orr Really Didn't Score a Goal & the Boston Bruins Shouldn't have Won the 1972 Stanley Cup !

Since when has the Verizon Wireless Arena and all the other AHL / NHL Arenas become SWIMMING POOLS with all these DIVING calls added by refs to Tripping or Hooking penalties?  I, as are many other Manchester fans and fans throughout the AHL / NHL, am sick and tired of this extra penalty call of "DIVING" being tagged on to other penalties !  If the ref calls a hooking or tripping or whatever penalty, there should be no DIVING.  The player either fell because of the penalty or there was no penalty.  How can the Refs continue to call both penalties ?   We pay to watch Hockey and this is not hockey. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !  If they want to call just diving, FINE !   But not both.  They also shouldn't be cute and get around calling Tripping / Hooking along with Diving by disguising it with a penalty called "unsportsmanlike conduct".

IT STARTS HERE !
Spread the word to all Hockey Fans in the USA and Canada !   
I have also contacted the other AHL Booster / Fan Clubs to put this before all the Fans !
This rule doesn't only affect Manchester and its Fans,  it affects all the AHL and NHL Teams and their Fans !

Send me your email message or signed petition or signed letter with your name and address with a quick line indicating....

 I urge the AHL / NHL to "Drop this nonsense rule of DIVING" tagged on to Hooking / Tripping penalties.

I will forward all the email messages / letters to the AHL Office and NHL Office of Gary Bettman to let them know how the fans feel regarding this Nonsense Rule !   Let's make a difference for the better and help keep the game of Hockey great !  Remember fellow fans, we are the ones paying to watch Hockey and this is not hockey !  Enough is enough !

Just remember fans ....a tidal wave starts with an earthquake ( This Nonsense Diving Call on a Hooking / Tripping penalty )
then comes the first ripple in the water (  just one fan ), 
that keeps going and growing ( more and more fans ),
 and then the tidal wave that moves anything in front of it ( THIS DIVING CALL tagged on to Hooking / Tripping ! )

Gooooooo Monarchs !

Gooooo Hockey Fans !

The American Hockey Coaches Association Apparently Feels the SAME WAY !

The committee made diving a point of emphasis again this season after enacting the penalty two seasons ago. Diving - the act of embellishing a potential infraction to draw a penalty - has not been called consistently, in the committee's opinion.
