The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Guys know when to change based on how long they've been on the ice, mostly. Depending on the time of the game a shift might be anywhere from :30 seconds to maybe a 1:00 or 1:15. Ideally, if changing on the fly is going to happen, players will change when they won't leave their team vulnerable defensively. It requires good ice vision and a sense of how the play is continuing to unfold. Those on the bench waiting to go out simply know who they are replacing. If it is going to be a non-standard change (coach looking for a particular match-up, special team situation, etc) then one of the coaches will have communicated to the proper player who is going next, who is replacing who, etc.
