Ice hockey penalty

MAJOR PENALTY: (Five minutes)
Called for fighting or when minor penalties are committed with deliberate attempt to injure. Major penalties for slashing, spearing, high-sticking, butt-ending and cross-checking carry automatic game misconducts.
MISCONDUCT: (Ten minutes)
Called for various forms of unsportsmanlike behavior or when player incurs a second major penalty in a game. This is a penalty against an individual and not a team penalty, so a substitute is permitted.
PENALTY SHOT:
A free shot, unopposed except for the goalie. The shot is awarded to a player if he is illegally impeded from behind on a breakaway, or if any player on the defending team throws his stick at a player trying to score. The team which commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot.
DELAYED PENALTY:
Whistle is delayed until the penalized team regains possession of the puck and is signaled by the referee with his arm raised overhead.

Proper fitting hockey skates

Make sure to sharpen your skate blades after you purchase them. Most hockey stores will sharpen them for free when you purchase the skates. Get a regular cut on the blades if your just starting out. The size of the skates should be about 1 size smaller then your shoe size. It is a mistake to buy hockey skates that are to big. Your toes should just be able to wiggle and they should fit snuggly around your ankles. The skates should not be loose. When you lace up the skates there should be about 1 to 2 inches width across the laces. You can also get some extra padding to put under the tongue to help prevent skate bite.

Former NHL referee-in-chief Bryan Lewis

Former NHL referee-in-chief Bryan Lewis says fighting in hockey is on the way out.
Lewis was part of a Violence in Hockey Symposium staged Tuesday by the Middlesex-London Health Unit, a gathering of hockey officials, coaches, media members and a former professional player at the London Convention Centre.
"I believe the screw is finally being turned," Lewis said in an interview.
"I think it's slowly being removed from the game."
