Prohibited items such as glass containers/bottles and horns must not be offered for sale inside the arena.
The promotional give-away activities of sponsors or partners must not involve the distribution of items which may be thrown as projectiles.
Items which are considered pyrotechnical devices under the law of the respective country and “laser pointers” (meaning devices, which enable persons from the stands to direct or beam light towards players or officials on the ice) are not allowed at all.
