Measurements: <br /> 40 inches in width. <br /> Why 40 inches? Because 40 inches allows a player enough time to pick <br /> his/her head up before hitting the boards while NOT overlapping any <br /> existing face-off dots, circles or hash marks on current playing surfaces. <br /> ZERO COST INVOLVED! To install this line in a rink, it takes 7 gallons <br /> of orange paint. A gallon of orange paint and a gallon of white paint both <br /> cost $59.99 each or $129.99 for 5 gallons. (These prices are from JET ICE, <br /> the main paint supplier of the NHL, NCAA, USA Hockey) Rink managers <br /> simply substitute 7 gallons of white paint with 7 gallons of orange paint <br /> when painting the surface of an ice rink. <br /> Why orange? <br /> Orange is a universal caution color that participants of all ages can identify <br /> with. <br /> The color orange is not used for any current on ice markings. <br /> Why the /kook Up Line? <br /> At four miles per hour (walling speed), players going into the boards <br /> with their heads down can sustain an axial loading fracture of a cervical <br /> vertebra. The fractured vertebra could then hicerat(e the spinal cord. <br /> This idea will help reduce head and neck injuries because slaters will <br /> now have tit-ne to make proper adjustments before hitting the boards. <br />
