How many players are on the ice at one time in olymbic ice hockey during overtime?
As far as I Know there are 4 players per side.
A "hit" in hockey is when a player runs into, or otherwise impedes the progress of a player that has or had possession of the puck (within three seconds). A hit or "check" does not count if the player performing the check commits a penalty while doing so.
Which side of a stick should you not use during a game of hockey?
The rounded side. If it has 2 flat sides you can use both sides. *When holding the stick with the hook facing away from the body, the side on the left (the "flat" side) is the playing surface. The side on the right is the back of the stick and cannot be used to play the ball at any time. This holds even if the stick is flat. However the edges can be used to a certain extent.
If a team scores with delayed penalty does the penalty get recorded?
No. If the team who would've gone on the power play scores before the "penalized" team touches the puck, the penalty is nullified. On the other end, as soon as the "penalized" team touches the puck, play is stopped and the penalized player is sent to the penalty box. Sometimes, however, play is stopped as soon as the penalty is committed. An example may be if a player slashes another and breaks his opponent's stick.
Referee's crease in ice hockey?
It is to keep the players separate from the refs while they are making a call. If players go into it when refs are making a call they get a penelty
Yes, it is!
No. In 2005, the National Hockey League changed its regular season overtime rules to incorporate the shootout to determine the winner of a game. If the score is still tied after a five minute overtime period played "four-on-four" (four skaters and a goaltender allowed on the ice by each team), the two teams exchange penalty shots at the opposing goaltender. The first round is a "best of three", in that whichever team scores more goals with their first three shooters wins the game. If one team scores twice while the other team scores once, they win the game. If the two teams are tied after three players have taken shots, they alternate shooters until one team has an advantage (one team scores while the other does not).
Before the 2005-2006 season, both teams were credited with a tie in the standings if neither team scored in the five minute overtime period during regular season play.
The blue line is used for offsides calls. When a player has the puck and is going towards the oppossing goal his team can't past the blue line till he crosses it with the puck. Also if the the whole team is inside the blue line on the opposing teams side and the puck goes back over the blue line to center ice the team has to go back over the blue line towards center Ice till one of their teammates crosses the blue line again with the puck so the rest of the team can cross it with him. The reason for the rule is so no one can wait by the opposing teams goal for a pass all the way down the ice while all the action could be in the middle of the rink or on their goal
Yes, this would be an minor penalty for interference.

How many NHL games does a player need to get a full pension?
According to NHL-NHLPA rules, a player must play in 400 games to get a full pension. At this point I don't know how this rule applies to back-up goalies who dress for a game but don't actually play. Maybe someone out there can enlighten me?
Why do refs break hockey fights up so fast?
It is at the referee and/or linesmen's discretion of when to separate players before or during a fight. If the officials feel that the players are too far apart from each other before engaging in a fight, the officials may put themselves between the players and prevent the fight from starting.
The rule is that if a player closes his hand on the puck in the goal crease, then a penalty shot is awarded, if the goalie has been pulled when a penalty shot is awarded, then the referee awards a goal to the team instead.
