This is junior hockey and our security just have power trips, not guns.

The bag rule is an OHL rule not the rule of the Icedogs or Merdian Centre and what happen in Edmonton Saturday security might be tougher.

I'd love to know where this rule is if it is by the OHL as others are claiming. Each arena has different rules concerning the bags that can be brought in. Apparently the 12" rule has always been in place, but the other security firm that had been doing things for the last few years wasn't cracking down on it. Posted at the front entrance is the rule farther down the list but it's now number 2 on the website.
