Major Penalties |
|
(a) |
For the first "Major"
penalty in any one game,
except to the
goaltender, the
penalized player shall
be ruled off the ice for
five minutes actual
playing time, during
which time no substitute
shall be permitted. |
|
(b) |
For the second Major
penalty in the same game
to the same player,
including the
goaltender, such player
shall be ruled off the
ice for the remainder of
the game (Major penalty
and a Game Misconduct
penalty). It shall be
necessary to place a
substitute on the
penalty bench
immediately. The
substitute will be
permitted to return to
the ice after five
minutes playing time has
elapsed. |
|
Note: The Penalty
Timekeeper shall notify
the Referee when any
player or goaltender
receives a second Major
penalty in the same
game. |
|
(c) |
When coincident Major
and/or Match penalties
or coincident penalties
of equal duration
including a Major or a
Match are imposed
against players of each
team during the same
stoppage of play,
immediate substitutions
shall be made for those
penalties, and such
penalties shall not be
taken into account for
the purpose of the
delayed penalty. In the
case where the penalized
players remain in the
game, they shall take
their place on the
penalty bench and shall
not leave until the
first stoppage of play
following the expiry of
their respective
penalties. |
|
When the coincident
Major/Match penalty rule
is applied and there is
a differential in the
total time penalties,
those penalties causing
the differential shall
be served first in the
normal manner and shall
be taken into account
for the purpose of
applying
Rule
28(b)
- Minor Penalties and
Rule
38
- Delayed Penalties. Any
time difference or
differential in the
total time penalties
must be served by a
player (or players) on
the ice at the time of
the infraction. |
|
(d) |
The Referee in charge
shall report to the
President any player who
incurs a second Major
penalty within ten
minutes of the game's
conclusion. |
