Yes it counts.
no
A goal may be scored directly from a goal kick, but only against the opponents. You cannot score an own-goal directly from a goal kick.
NO.
Yes, Yes it does
Yes, but not if the games goes into a Shoot-out. Shoot-out goals do not count towards a hattrick.
You should probably be inside the centre third in front of either the oppositions Goal Attack or Goal Shooter.
No it doesn't because it's goals in shootouts they only count goals of the game.
its called a goal
No, since a player has to be on the ice in even strength situations for plus/minus to count.
OT counts but I haven't really seen shootout goals count towards a hatty. If you think about it, a SO goal doesn't directly count as a goal on the scoreboard, but only counts towards the final if your team scores the most goals in the shootout. penalty shots, however, do count because the goal directly counts on the scoreboard.
The goal attack is marked by the goal defence. Goal Shooter-Goal Keeper Goal Attack-Goal Defence Wing Attack-Wing Defence Centre-Centre
If there is conclusive video evidence that the puck completely crossed the goal line, then yes, it is a goal regardless of whether or not the puck was in a glove at the time or not.
