NCAA rules committee members join us on Feb. 4 edition of USCHO Live!

On the Feb. 4 episode of USCHO Live! we will have our annual check in with the NCAA Rules Committee on rules and officiating. We’ll be joined by Ty Halpin, NCAA liaison for rules, and Steve Piotrowski, NCAA ice hockey rules secretary, beginning at 8:20 p.m. ET. For our second segment at 8:40, Steve and Ty will stay on the line and be joined by Michigan State coach Tom Anastos (who is also chair of the rules committee).
