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.
