"No man's land" is anywhere on the ice that puts you too far away from your player's bench, to retrieve another stick.

Players(goalies included-rule change)cannot use a broken stick...period!

Your stick does not have to be broken to get another one from your bench or a teammate(if you should loose yours).

A player can pick up and hand you your stick back, but he/she can't slide/shoot it to you.

You cannot take part in the game in any way, shape or form while carrying two sticks.

You cannot give your teammate your stick if you are in the penalty box.(watch the shit hit the fan when one of your linesman comes over and tells you that the player who just scored that goal, got his stick from the guy in the penalty box and the score isn't tied now and no your goal doesn't count and get in the box and I've let you call me an asshole twice now coach...one more word and you'll get a hot shower for a change and 3000 people telling you where to dig for your brains)

You cannot pick up and play with an opponents stick.

You cannot interfere with an opponents stick while it is laying on the ice.

A goalie can play with a skaters stick, but a skater cannot play with a goalie stick.

You cannot throw a stick to a teammate from the players bench.

That's most of the more common stick infractions. Minor penelty for most, but in some cases two penelties.

And I hope you'll all know I'm talking about hockey sticks!
