Can a player on the ice carry two 

player’s sticks so that she can give one to a teammate who has 

lost or broken her stick? SRD 

A player on Team A is assessed a 

cross-checking penalty at 8:44 of the 2nd period. After serving his penalty he returns to the ice and assists on a goal for his team. At the 2:15 mark of the same period he is assessed a slashing minor. At this time the timekeeper informs the referee 

that this is the player’s 4th stick penalty and he should have been assessed a Game Ejection after his cross-checking penalty at 

8:44. SRD 

 The goaltender has been 

removed and an opposing player obtains a breakaway in the 

neutral or attacking zone. He shoots the puck towards the 

open goal. A defending player throws his stick at the shot puck. 

 A player is wearing the mouth guard 

in a manner that is careless or clearly not within the intended 

guidelines.

 The goaltender is on the ice, but 

away from his goal crease. A player of the opposing team takes 

possession and control of the puck and actually shoots it towards 

the open goal. As the puck is about to enter the open goal, a 

defending player knocks the net off its moorings. SRD 

In a Jr. game a Linesman is 

about to report a penalty for High Sticking but before he does 

so, the offending team scores a goal. SRD. 

On a Penalty Shot, as the player 

approaches the goal, the goaltender poke checks the puck. The 

puck bounces past the goaltender toward the net. The player 

regains the puck and directs it into the goal. SRD – (include 

explanation for your call.) 

Two players are fighting on the ice, 

close to the players’ bench and a player on the bench intervenes 

in the fight and becomes a participant. SRD

ice back to his goaltender or another team-mate without being 

assessed a penalty? SRD 

A player is injured by a high stick. This 

action is observed by the Linesman, but not the Referee. The Linesman 

is unable to identify the offending player. SRD 

 The goaltender has been removed and an 

opposing player gains possession and control of the puck 

on a breakaway in the neutral or attacking zone. The puck is knocked 

off the stick of the player in control by a stick thrown by a 

defending player. The attacking player is not interfered with and 

could regain possession of the puck easily. SRD 

 A player of the attacking team enters the 

opponent’s goal crease illegally with the puck in the attacking zone. 

The defending goaltender slashes him. The Referee signals a Delayed 

penalty on the goaltender and subsequently the attacking team scores a 

goal while the Delayed penalty is still on and the player is still in 

the crease. Is the goal allowed? Is the penalty to the goaltender 

assessed? 

 A goal is scored by Team "A" and Team 

"B" directs the Referees' attention to the fact that the player scoring 

the goal has his chin strap undone. SRD 

 The Referee has signaled a Delayed 

penalty against the attacking team. The defending team (non-offending 

team) has control of the puck in its own defending zone and is then 

responsible for the stoppage of play in its own defending zone. Where 

does the face-off take place? 

Two willing combatants each drop 

their gloves and square off to fight. The player of Team "A" 

knocks the player of Team "B" down with the first punch. SRD 

 A stick is thrown to a player on the ice 

by a team mate who is also on the ice. The player picks up the stick. 

 The player taking the Penalty Shot 

shoots the puck and the puck hits the goal post, then hits the 

goaltender and goes into the goal. SRD 

An attacking player who, while his team has possession 

of the puck, is tripped by a defending player. He fails to attempt to 

avoid making contact with the goaltender, and a goal is scored by his 

team. SRD

 A team is withdrawn from the ice in the last 

minute of regular playing time, and is warned to return by the 

Referee. The team then returns. SRD 

 An attacking player kicks a stick that 

is lying on the ice near the goal. The stick in turn hits the puck 

which then enters the net after deflecting off a defending player. Does 

the goal count? Explain - SRD 

A player who enters the game 

illegally from the penalty bench, by reason of a Timekeepers' error, 

checks a player who has a clean breakaway, in the neutral or attacking 

zone. SRD 

 A player is on a breakaway with the opposing 

goaltender in his net and the buzzer sounds causing a stoppage of 

play. The buzzer sounding was due to a timekeeper error or 

mechanical failure. In the referee’s judgment, there was sufficient 

time on the clock for the breakaway to have been completed. SRD
