What do all the red NA's mean beside the names of hockey players?

I don't believe it means Not Active. Everyone in my league has the NA's after most of their players. It must be some new functionality being added or just a glitch from Yahoo.\n\nI'll bet Yahoo let's us know within the next 24 hours!

It refers to the number of times a player has appeared for his national team. It stems from a tradition of giving a player a team cap each time he actually gets to play a match. The reserve players do not automatically get a cap unless of course thay get to substitute another player and play.

In 1924, Madison Square Garden owner Tex Rickard was falsely told by someone that the "H" in the logo of the Montreal Canadiens hockey team stood for "habitant", a French word that in those days was used to denote the farmers of Quebec. Rickard was told that the French players on the team came from the farms and that they were therefore "habitants" or "habs". At the time, the Canadiens were recognized as the French Canadian team of Montreal as opposed to the Montreal Maroons, the English Canadian team. In reality, the team logo of the "C" wrapped around the "H" stands for Club de Hockey Canadien. In 1917, at the founding of the NHL, the team changed its name to that from the previous Club Athlétique Canadien.\n\nSo there you go - the definition of the Habs, and what the H stands for in the Canadiens' logo!

Yellow = warning (2 = red card)\n\nRed = sent off\n\nIn tournaments if you get more than (say) 1 yellow card or a single red card you can be banned for a few matches ... in league matches a certain amount will also lead to a match ban.\n\nIt could also mean "your agent is on the phone with an outrageous deal to wear silly coloured shoes" but that might just be David Beckam.

The most confusing rule is OFFSIDE. This mainly means that an opposing player cannot be closer to the other team's goalie than that teams defensemen. He cannot take the pass from his teammate and go ahead if he is in an OFFSIDE position. This is the job of the linesmen (referees) to see and wave their flags. The linesmen also decide which team gets the THROW-IN, if there is a CORNER KICK or if the ball goes to the goalie for a KICK-IN. PENALTY SHOTS are awarded if a player is tackled unfairly in the goal area or if a defenseman touches the ball with his hand within the goal area. Yellow cards, warnings, are given by the referee for a lot of reasons, but mainly for dangerous play or for protesting or for delaying the game. Two warnings in the same match result in a RED card, meaning the player has to leave the field. There are more details but I think I covered the important points. Points are usually 3 for win, 1 for tie and 0 for loss.

ALTERNATE captain.  (FIRST)\n\nNHL RULEBOOK:\nRule 14   Captain of Team \n\nOne Captain shall be appointed by each Team, and he alone shall have the privilege of discussing with the Referee any questions relating to interpretation of rules which may arise during the progress of a game. He shall wear the letter "C", approximately three inches (3") in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of his sweater. \nIn addition, if the permanent Captain is not on the ice, ALTERNATE Captains (not more than two) shall be accorded the privileges of the Captain. Alternate Captains shall wear the letter "A" approximately three inches (3") in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on the front of their sweaters.

In most cases, a red shirt player does not play in any games that count. (They may play in exhibitions.) They can still practice with the team, etc. This allows them to develop their talent for another year before using up eligibility, and is useful when there are several established players at their position. (Example: A team already has three centers, but they bring in a raw 7-footer. He can red-shirt a year until one or more of the other centers graduate, which will open more playing time for him.)\n\nThere's also a medical red shirt, where a player gets hurt very early in the season and will have to miss the entire season (a la Jeff Brassow for UK about a decade ago.) The team has to apply to the NCAA to get this.

The Maple leaf is on the Canadian Flag. The red bars also represent the blood spilt by the Canadian army during both World Wars and the White background between the red bars represents the Arctic North of the country.\n\nI hope that helps.
