Tuck rule (ice hockey)
NHL uniform regulation
The tuck rule is a rule by the National Hockey League (NHL) that stipulates how jerseys must be worn over protective equipment. Notable players who have previously tucked in their jerseys include Alexander Ovechkin, Evgeni Malkin, Patrice Bergeron,[1] Kris Letang, Pavel Datsyuk, Wayne Gretzky and Jaromir Jagr.[2] However, the rule has not been strictly enforced since its introduction to the NHL, as some players, such as Connor McDavid, Evgeni Malkin and Wayne Simmonds have been seen with a slight tuck in their jersey. Detroit Red Wings winger Daniel Sprong continues to tuck his jersey during play.
It has been suggested that this article be merged into National Hockey League rules. (Discuss) Proposed since December 2023. |
