What are the penalty options for charging? - Minor plus a misconduct, major plus a game
misconduct, or match.
What are the penalty options for checking from behind? - Minor plus a misconduct, major plus a

A player/coach is suspended for the team's next regularly scheduled game and because of circumstances
out of the control of the player/coach, the opponent forfeits the game. Does this forfeited game count
towards serving the suspension? - There may be some special circumstances that warrant the
suspension being served (i.e. Game forfeited while both teams are on site due to circumstances out of
the offending player/ coach control). It is best that the Proper Authorities take into consideration the
circumstances involved and the "good faith" effort of the suspended party to serve the suspension while
reviewing each instance. There are also situations (the game is forfeited days in advance) where the
suspension would definitely not be considered served.
A goal is scored; however, before the play resumes the Linesman notifies the Referee that the play
should have been called for icing. What should the Referee do? - The Referee must disallow the
goal and the face-off would take place at the normal icing face-off spot. Rule Reference 502(a).
A goalkeeper is assessed a minor penalty for slashing. They proceed to verbally abuse the Referee and is
assessed a minor penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. They continue the abuse and is assessed a
misconduct penalty for continued abuse. Who serves the penalties for the goalkeeper? - A player
on the ice at the time of the infraction shall serve all of the penalties. Rule References 407(a). The team
will also need to place an additional player on the penalty bench immediately who shall serve the minor
penalties and return to the ice upon their expiration.
A goalkeeper leaves their crease and rushes forward to a loose puck inside their privileged area, in an
attempt to beat a lone attacker who is also skating toward the puck. If the goalkeeper reaches the puck
first and falls on it, causing a stoppage of play, should the Referee assess a minor penalty for Delaying the
Game? - Yes. Rule Reference 614(c) and Glossary. The goalkeeper has an obligation to play the
puck with their stick, just like any other player. This action would not be considered to be within the "act
of playing goal."
, A Linesman has determined that a major penalty infraction has occurred unseen by the Referee and is
waiting for the next stoppage of play to report to the Referee. The next stoppage of play occurs when the
offending team scores a goal, whereupon the Linesman reports their version of the infraction. The
Referee concurs that a major penalty plus the automatic misconduct penalty should be assessed. What
procedures does the Referee follow? - Disallow the goal and assess the penalty. Rule References
502(c) and 503(e). Linesmen cannot stop play, but must wait for the first stoppage of play to report their
version of the incident to the Referee.
A penalized skater is injured and is unable to take their proper place on the penalty bench. The team
places a substitute on the penalty bench for the injured skater and prior to the penalty expiring, the
injured skater recovers and returns to participate in play. What penalty, if any, should be assessed? -
Bench minor penalty for illegal substitution. Rule Reference 206(d). As soon as the injured skater
is able to replace the substitute on the penalty bench, they must do so at the first stoppage of play. The
returning injured skater or substitute must return to the game from the penalty bench.
A player is assessed a minor and a misconduct penalty. An additional player enters the penalty bench in
order to return upon the expiration of the minor penalty. If the opposing team scores a goal that would
entitle the minor penalty to terminate, does the misconduct penalty time begin immediately? -
Yes. Once a penalty has terminated, the serving of the next penalty begins so as to make the
penalties consecutive. Rule References 402(c), 404(a), 409(b). This ruling applies in all examples where
the termination of a penalty does not complete the serving of all penalties assessed to a player.
A Coach verbally abuses an Official on the way to the dressing room at the end of a period. What is the
sequence of penalties assessed to the Coach? - A bench minor penalty followed by a game
misconduct penalty if the abuse continues. Rule References 601(b.1 and d.1).
A player is assessed a minor penalty and then their team is assessed a bench minor penalty during the
same stoppage of play. The player's Coach requests that the player also serve the bench minor penalty?
Should the Referee permit this? - No. Rule Reference 402(b). Because the bench minor penalty is
assessed to the team and not to an individual player, the Coach must designate a non-penalized player
who was on the ice at the time of the infraction to serve the bench minor penalty. The team will then
play short-handed by two players for two minutes, unless a goal is scored that would terminate a minor
penalty.
A player is assessed a non-coincident minor or major penalty in addition to a misconduct or game
misconduct penalty. Who must serve the minor or major penalty? - Any non-penalized player,
except a goalkeeper. Rule References 404(a).
