Option 2: Nor definitely enjoy a bit of what could be described as cheating, but most of the time, it would not be something that would get punished by the referee even if he witnesses it. Nor tends to play on the line when it comes to those types of things. Nor tends to hook people by moving with them, but only when they are not skating at full. This tends to slow down the other player when it tries to accelerate which helps Nor’s teammate catch up with opposing team players. Since he is also moving with the player he is hooked too, the referee usually doesn’t see it as egregious enough to call a penalty on Nor. Nor also knows that he is not the only player using this specific trick, this is why an opponent tries to position himself next to him while Nor’s team as possessions of the puck, he will try to get some distance from his opponent as quickly as he can.
