Talk:Penalty (ice hockey)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'm not a hockey expert so I wouldn't want to actually edit this, but I came to this page looking for info on 'bench minors' and I think even though it's mentioned at the top it should go in the penalty list. In addition to BMs, isn't there a whole category of penalties relating to the conduct of coaches and players on the bench (roughing on-ice players, fans, etc) and other procedural penalties? If the former is part of 'unsportsmanlike conduct', shouldn't these examples be mentioned, or at least the method of penalising teams whose off-ice personnel commit infractions? And what about instigator/retaliator penalties? Are they still being called?
Sorry if I seem like a wuss not doing the research and making the edits myself, but I am truly a fan, not an expert, and I haven't even seen a game in two years (no TV, just radio).
Oh also, IMO it would be useful to have the penalties organised (or at least coded) by type (procedural/otherwise non-contact) vs 'contact', and maybe even info on the length of penalty usually assessed for each type. I know it might be preaching to the choir (yeah, I actually know the answers myself lol), but it would help the non-initiates to decipher the calls a little better.
Oh, and aren't high-sticking penalties assessed whenever the stick's up above the shoulder, not only when it's used to hit another player?--Anchoress 04:51, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
- Not in the NHL. Play may be stopped if the player touches a puck with a high stick, but nobody gets a penalty for it.142.59.153.99 07:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that by IIHF rules, a bench minor may be served by any player in the team rather than any player on the ice as in NHL. IIHF rules, page 56 in the pdf. Since I'm new to this I suggest someone else edits this until I learn how. Sarksjon 08:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
What sort of information is there about diving? I looked through the IIHF rulebook but they didn't have any information about it, just a picture of a dive.--Sillybulanston 01:47, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- How do you mean, information? What are you looking for? Lord Bob 03:26, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I mean like, in the rulebook, there is no small paragraph explaining what a dive is or the legality of it, there is just a picture of a person diving. So my question is: Is diving a penalty or not? I believe it is in IIHF games but I'm not sure about the NHL rules on it.--Sillybulanston 20:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Are double minor penalties assessed anymore? The NHL now seems to give major penalties to players who draw blood on a high stick or boarding call.142.59.153.99 07:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
