What side a short corner should be taken
At a recent junior hockey match, the ref indicated the short corner must be taken from the side of the goal where the infringement took place. This threw the team off as they only practiced taken short corners from the one side.Anybody that can give clarity on whether this is the rule?

Hi,
It's my understanding that this is incorrect. The attacking team typically has the freedom to choose the side from which they want to take the short corner, regardless of where the infringement occurred.
Hope this helps.
