USA Hockey 2017-21 with correct answers 100% 2026 Can a game be played on a rink that does not adhere to USA Hockey's recommended dimensions or on an ice surface that does not adhere to the proper ice markings? - Correct Answer Yes. For icing purposes, how high does the goal line extend? - Correct Answer Indefinitely. The goal line extends horizontally across the entire width of the rink and visibly up the side boards. Vertically, the goal line extends as high as the puck can travel. Is the two inch thickness of the red goal line considered to be a part of the goal line? - Correct Answer Yes. The thickness of the goal line is considered to be a part of the line. In order for a goal to be allowed or Icing to be called, the entire puck must completely cross the edge closest to the end boards. Do the principles of the goal line and goal crease apply to the cross-ice goal line and crease in the same manner? - Correct Answer Yes. If used, the cross-ice goal lines and crease would be handled the same way as the rule applying to the regular goal line and crease. Is the two inch red line outlining the goal crease considered to be a part of the goal crease? - Correct Answer Yes. The goal crease area includes the space bounded by the outside edges of the semi-circular crease lines. How is the "goal crease" to be interpreted if playing a game in an arena with a different goal crease design? - Correct Answer All rulings must be made based on the USA Hockey standard crease. In which zone are the blue lines considered to be a part? - Correct Answer The zone in which the puck is located. In which half of the ice is the center red line located? - Correct Answer The half in which the puck is located. What is the purpose of the Referee's Crease? - Correct Answer To provide an area where On-Ice and Off-Ice Officials can converse with each other without player interference. During a scramble around the goal, the back end of the goal frame is accidentally lifted off the ice for a brief moment, but the goal posts remain properly positioned on the goal line. The moment the back of the goal lifts off the ice, a pass from behind the goal goes under the goal frame and directly out in front of the goal and an attacking player legally shoots the puck into the goal. Is the goal considered to be legal? - Correct Answer No. It is not necessary for the Referee to blow the whistle every time the goal frame momentarily lifts off the ice while the posts are in the proper position. However, it is not reasonable to allow a pass to take place that goes under the goal frame that has been lifted. In this instance, play should be stopped and a last play face-off occur. In an arena that has the penalty benches located directly next to the players' benches, which penalty bench shall be designated for the home team? - Correct Answer The penalty bench closer to the home team's players' bench. During the middle of the first period the timekeeper accidentally blows the horn. What procedure should the On-Ice Officials follow? - Correct Answer Stop play immediately. As always, safety is one of our major concerns during all USA Hockey games. Play is dead the instant the horn blows, and the On-Ice Officials must blow their whistles to ensure that all participants are aware of this situation. The ensuing face-off will be conducted at the last play face-off location. A goal is scored with one second remaining in the period, but the buzzer sounds to end the period before the timekeeper can stop the clock. The goal is allowed, but should the ensuing face-off take place? - Correct Answer No. A face-off occurs with ten seconds remaining in the period. As play begins, one of the On-Ice Officials notices that the clock has not started. Should the Official stop play immediately to remedy the situation? - Correct Answer No. As soon as the Official notices that the clock has not started, he must begin counting down the remaining seconds in his head. If he counts down to 0:00 and the period should have ended but didn't, he must stop play to end the period. The horn sounds to end a period; however, the clock shows two seconds remaining. Is the period over? - Correct Answer Yes. Whenever the timing device is equipped with an automatic sounding alarm that signifies the end of a period, the "sound" shall be considered the end of the period, even though the clock may show minimal time remaining. Conversely, if play stops with 0:00 showing on the clock but the horn has not sounded, the game shall continue until the sound occurs or until it becomes obvious that the horn is not functioning properly. A team arrives with only five players, but is willing to play the entire game short-handed. Should the game be played? - Correct Answer No. A team is defined as having six players. If a team cannot put six players on the ice at the start of the game, it is not considered a "team" and must forfeit the game to its opponent. During the game, through injuries and penalties, a team is unable to place four players on the ice. Can the game proceed? - Correct Answer No. Any time a team is reduced to below four players on the ice during a game for any reason, the game shall be forfeited. Players in the penalty bench with delayed penalties are not permitted to participate in the game (on the ice) or leave the penalty bench until their penalties expire. During the game a Team Captain advises the Referee that the opposing team has more than the allowable number of Team Officials occupying the players' bench. What action sh
