CHIEFS TO CONSIDER CALLS FOR A PC BAN
World hockey chiefs will look into the possibility of changing penalty corner rules with players continuing to express fears over safety and serious injury. Narinder Batra, the International Hockey Federation president, said earlier this year that any potential ban wouldn’t be imposed before the 2018 World Cups. However, a recent FIH restructuring of its panels and committees will push the matter onto the agenda of the new health and safety committee in Lausanne. “It will be up to them to make any recommendations to the FIH executive board, along with proposed timelines if required,” said Jason McCracken, the FIH chief executive.
