I took a high shot last night and the ref asked if I was ok, I like that style, if I would have said no, I am sure he would have stopped play I could understand stopping the play if the goalie is injured, but it is what we do, put ourselves in the line of fire.

I would think the rules would mirror each other but I guess not, huh?I whipped out my crazy the other night after a couple of shots to the head.

Is there a difference between the IIHF rules and the IOC rules? I remember watching the 2006 Winter Olympics and they were stopping the play if a goalie took a puck to the head.

However, many of the refs are still calling it as they used to (which is fair, I guess, since it's up to them).And I can certainly relate to your Atom experience. I've coached Atom house league for four years and I've seen many high shots catch the goalie in the mask. It's house so they shots are not really hard or anything but I was surprised to see the game carry on.One ref made a habit of blowing the play dead (refs have all kinds of discretion at the house level; keeping things safe is their biggest priority) but most just let them play on unless the goalies showed signs of injury.
