I can remember in my first year of organized hockey (4 years old) being on a 2-on-0 as the player without the puck and stopping dead at the offensive blue line. I was playing d and that's as far a those guys were allowed to go. My dad quickly explained after that that is more of a positional guideline then a rule, never less, the next game I was playing forward and refused to play d the rest of my life.
