Ice Hockey Rules and Regulations

I would suggest you go www.NHL.com and click on rules. This will enable to view and/or download the NHL Rulebook to read at your own convenience.

If a player doesn't get lined up for the draw promptly and correctly, or if his/her teammates' cross the draw line to soon, the player taking the draw is replaced.

If this happens twice on the same draw, a two (2) minute minor penalty is assessed to the offending team for delay of game.

Another six-overtime marathon.

The goal line

The NHL is made up of thirty (30) teams, six (6) are located in Canada and twentyfour (24) in the US.

These teams are divided into two (2) conferences; East and West, and are comprised of fifteen (15) teams each.

Those fifteen (15) teams in each conference are further divided into three (3) divisions each; the Atlantic, Northeast and Southeast in the Eastern Conference and the Central, Northwest, and Pacific in the Western Conference.

For further team informastion, please visit the official NHL website at www.NHL.com.

I suppose that it may have happened at some point in history, but the rule is clearly defined to not apply to the penalty killing team. This allows the shorthanded team to relieve the pressure in the defensive zone.

The team on the power play *can* be charged with icing.

Icing is NOT a penalty in hockey. It is called, by the linesman, the play is stopped, and a face off takes place back where the puck was shot from.

The previously assessed penalty currently in effect to Team B is negated, where as the delayed penalty call is then enforced.

The NHL redesigned the nets after Mark Howe was cut by one of the posts on December 27 1980.

no

As of January 25th, 2010, the San Jose Sharks lead the league with 78 points.

To reduce friction.

Well, If a player scores 3 goals it is called a hat trick but i dont believe theres any special term for scoring 5 goals other than that hockey player is super good.

Yes, Yes it does

Each team selects 3 players to go one on one with the goaltender. Whichever team gets more goals wins and if they're tied after 3 rounds it keeps going on.

It depends. Usually about 5-15 minutes is what I know, but I am not entirely sure.

A seed in hockey is like a standing or a place.

The correct dimensions are measured from inside post to post for width, and from the surface to the inside of the crossbar for height

Yes, A goal is a goal, regardless of who scored it. The same thing applies if a player scores an "own goal " in his own net.

however a player does not receive a plus for scoring a goal on a powerplay

and a player does not receive a minus for being on the ice for a goal scored against you killing a penalty

yes

These are called "Skate Fenders".

Waivers are when a team wants to send a player down to the minors or farm team and they have to "waive" the rights to that player before they can send him down. If another team claims that player he is now their property. If the player clears waivers (no one claims him), he remains the property of the original team and can be sent to the minors. The player may be relaesed and can be a free agent.

the penalties in hockey are: hooking, tripping, slashing, interfearance, delay of game, charging, roughing, and i think that's all of them. Hope it helped!!
