Is there such a new skill in hockey called a solo where you are allowed to scoop the ball up on your stick and run with the ball on your stick ? Thanks.
As standard, the ball may only be played with the flat side of the stick. With this being said, the ability to `carry` the ball becomes difficult.
If one was to carry the ball on the flat part of the stick, then this would be allowed as long as it is not deemed dangerous i.e. other players were not within a playing area.
This is a similar idea to how many times you can bounce the ball on your stick during a game - the answer, technically being infinite, as long as it is not deemed dangerous.
Let me know if you need further clarification, or i have misunderstood what you are asking
