|| || || || || || ||
A player becomes involved in a fight and is subsequently
|| || || || || || || || ||
assessed a major and a game misconduct penalty for his || || || || || || || || ||
involvement. He leaves the ice surface and proceeds to the || || || || || || || || ||
dressing room. Later in the same game another fight occurs|| || || || || || || || ||
and the player who had previously been ejected returns to the ice surface to enter into the fight.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
What penalty should be assessed to that player for re-entering the game? - ✔✔A game
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
misconduct or match penalty shall be assessed, || || || || || ||
depending on the circumstances. Rule References 615(a & b), || || || || || || || ||
601(d.2 & f.2). || ||
Had play resumed prior to the player re-entering the ice
|| || || || || || || || ||
surface, a match penalty shall be assessed. Conversely, if play had not resumed and the player re-
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
entered the ice surface after being escorted off the ice and the door being closed behind him, an
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
additional game misconduct penalty shall be assessed. || || || || || ||
The goalkeeper skates out of his goal crease to meet an
|| || || || || || || || || ||
attacking player on a breakaway. The attacking player gets || || || || || || || ||
completely around the goalkeeper, in the clear and in control of the puck with no one between || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
himself and the open goal, and he is pulled down from behind by the goalkeeper. What penalty
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
should be assessed? - ✔✔A penalty shot. Rule Reference 616(b).
|| || || || || || || || ||
For a goal to be awarded, the goalkeeper must have been
|| || || || || || || || || ||
removed from the ice. The fact that the goalkeeper was not in his goal crease has no bearing on
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the play. He is still
|| || || ||
considered to be "on the ice." || || || || ||
, A player on a breakaway with the opposing goalkeeper off the ice is clearly fouled from behind.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
The Referee determines that an awarded goal situation has occurred, but inadvertently does not
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
stop play until it ends when the non-offending team scores a goal. What is the proper procedure
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
for the Referee to follow in this situation? - ✔✔Once the Referee has determined that an awarded
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
goal
situation has occurred, the non-offending team is entitled to a goal immediately, regardless of
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
what occurs after the || || ||
infraction, even if the Referee fails to stop play. The fouled || || || || || || || || || ||
player is credited with a goal in this case, even if another
|| || || || || || || || || || ||
teammate subsequently scores. Rule Reference 616(c). || || || || ||
Also, since play is to be stopped immediately in an awarded
|| || || || || || || || || ||
goal situation, the time that has elapsed between the
|| || || || || || || ||
infraction and the actual stoppage must be added back to the remaining time left to be played in
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
that period. Because an awarded goal situation is such a rare occurrence, it would not be unusual
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
for a Referee to fail to stop play immediately, remembering that in every other penalty situation
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
the play is permitted to continue until the offending team gains possession and control of the
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
puck.
Can a player against whom a delayed penalty is signaled be credited with the scoring of a goal? -
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
✔✔Yes. Rule References 617(a) and 409(c). || || || || ||
When the puck enters the goal as a result of the actions of the defending team, the last player to
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
play the puck shall be || || || ||
credited with the goal. This includes situations where a || || || || || || || ||
delayed penalty is in play. || || || ||
The goal is tipped forward from behind as the result of player contact with the goal. The goal
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
posts remain anchored to their position on the goal line. However, the cross bar pivots forward
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
and down. Can a goal be scored while the goal is in this position? - ✔✔No. Rule Reference
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||
617(a).
