Why do they leave unattended hockey sticks on the ice?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A broken stick is left on the ice because it's a penalty to use it, and a dropped, but still in-tact stick is sometimes left on the ice because picking it up will put its owner out of position so they wait for a good opportunity to grab it.

What is the ROW stat in hockey?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means "Regulation Overtime Wins"

It's used for a tie breaker in the regular season standing.

* - Division leaders are seeded 1, 2, and 3 in Conference standings. If two or more clubs are tied in points during the regular season, the standing of the clubs is determined in the following order:

  • The fewer number of games played (i.e., superior points percentage).
  • The greater number of games won, excluding games won in the Shootout (NEW for 2010-11). This figure is reflected in the ROW column.
  • The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
  • The greater differential between goals for and against for the entire regular season.

A player can take as many 2 minute minor penalties or 5 min major fighting penalties as the coach will allow. Misconduct penalties are 10min penalties and like the first two types the player can take multiple and still stay in the game. If the coach allows.

One match penalty or one game misconduct penalty and the player is out of the game and must immediately go to the dressing room until the end of the game.

When is a hockey puck out of play?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == When it is shot over the glass into the audience, or into the team player's benches. It is whistled "dead" by the referee, and depending on which team last touched the puck, it will be "faced off" at a point close to where the player was located that shot it out of play. A face off is where two players are positioned at a face off circle , facing each other with their sticks held just off the ice surface. The lines man drops the puck between them to resume play, and as the puck hits the ice the two players attempt to get control of the puck to pass it to their "wingers" to start moving the puck towards the other teams goal. Under the new NHL rules, a delay of game penalty ( two minutes in the penalty box) is given for "deliberately shooting the puck out of play". The player that shoots the puck out of play is going to the box for 2 minutes so their team will play one man short for that time period. In many cases this results in the other team scoring a goal, because they had a man advantage ( five skaters to only four on the team with the penalty ).
