Rules:

- Use your Stick to direct the man where you want him to go
- Take a good angle or circular approach when forechecking
- Stick in passing lanes
- Finish your check
Terms:

According to the laws
of aerodynamics,
the bumblebee is
unable to fly.
This is because
the size, weight, and
shape of its body
in relation to the
total wing-span
makes flying impossible.
The bumblebee,
being ignorant of
these laws,
goes ahead
