All face-offs shall take place at one of the nine face-off spots marked on the rink.

In Team A’s defensive zone, the puck is dropped while Team A does not have enough players on the ice. A1 coming off the bench in the neutral zone receives a pass from the defensive zone. A1 proceeds with the pass and makes a shot on net. This is a good play.

During the first period, Team A intentionally delays the line change and is subsequently warned by the referee. Later in the game, Team A intentionally delays a line change. A bench minor penalty shall be assessed.

Play is stopped for an apparent injury to player A4. A4 must leave the ice and cannot return until play resumes.

Once the referee points to the location of the face-off, the line change procedure commences. This signals the visiting team that it has up to 5 seconds to change players. The referee then puts his/her hand up to the visiting team indicating that its time to change players has ended and that the home team has up to 5 seconds to change players.

Each team shall be allowed a one minute timeout during the game; the timeout may be taken anytime during a stoppage of play.

Team A defenseman A3 shoots the puck from the point. A6 highsticks the puck which deflects off a Team B player into the corner. A Team A player takes possession of the puck, shoots and scores. The goal counts since the deflection off the team B player nullifies the highstick infraction.

There is a loose puck behind Team A’s goal. The Team A goalkeeper skates out of the crease behind the net to pass the puck and is body checked by a Team B player. The Referee must assess a penalty to the Team B player.

A player shall not make contact to an opposing player’s head or neck area in any manner. Minor, Major or Disqualification (Major plus Game Misconduct USA Hockey) must be assessed at the discretion of the referee.

As an official is reporting an infraction at the scorer’s bench. The team captain enters the referee’s crease continuing to debate the penalty call with the referee. The referee shall assess a minor penalty.

A Team A player shoots the puck into the attacking zone after skating past the center red line. No teammates are offside. The puck strikes an overhead obstruction. The resulting face-off shall take place at the nearest point to the shot along an imaginary line parallel to the side boards connecting the end face-off spots.

Team A ices the puck during a delayed penalty on Team B. The ensuing face-off will be conducted at Team A’s defending blue line.

An official errs in calling an offside. After discussion with the other on-ice officials the correct decision is to conduct the ensuing face-off at center ice.

All players, including the goalkeeper, must wear a HECC helmet with facemask while in the bench area.

Team A is assessed a bench minor penalty. Any player, except a goalie, who was on the ice at the time of the infraction, must serve the penalty.

In the attacking zone, a Team A player passes the puck with the stick across to a teammate who turns a skate to deliberately direct the puck into the opposing goal. The goal shall be allowed.

In women’s hockey a minor penalty for body checking shall be assessed in which of the following situations:

All players, including the goalkeeper, must wear a helmet with facemask while in the bench area.

A1 is found to have the hockey pants unzipped. What action must the referee take?

A1 is assessed a minor penalty with the stoppage of play taking place in Team A’s offensive zone. The ensuing face-off shall take place:

A1 has possession of the puck behind the Team B net. A2 is moving directly towards the front of the net when A1 passes the puck to A2. The puck deflects off of A2’s skate, which is moving towards the net in the act of stopping. The puck enters the net off A2’s skate. The referee shall not allow the goal.

In the second period of a game, which criteria are required for an awarded goal when a stick is thrown by a player?

A1 is the first Team A player to be found playing without an internal mouthguard. Subsequently, A2 is found not to be wearing an internal mouthguard. The referee must:

When the puck is played with a high stick (above 4 feet - NCAA, NFHS or the shoulders - USAH) by an attacking player and goes directly to the goalkeeper there shall be:

An attacking forward, standing in front of his/her opposing goalkeeper, but NOT in the crease, begins waving his/her arms in front of the goalkeeper, but does not make contact with the goalkeeper. The correct call is:

A1 is on a breakaway when B1 fouls A1 from behind. For a penalty shot /optional minor to be awarded, A1

A1, in the neutral zone, high sticks the puck (above 4 feet – NCAA, NFHS or the shoulders - USAH) with the puck going out of the rink. The ensuing face-off shall take place at:

A1 in the defending zone, but not in the goalkeeper’s crease, plays a puck that is in the air with the glove, closes the hand on the puck and skates up the ice with the puck still in the glove. At no time does A1 throw the puck down to ice. What action should the referee take?

The Team A coach replaces Goalkeeper A1, due to an injury, with Goalkeeper A2. When may the Goalkeeper A1 legally return to the game?

A team A player body checks a team B player from behind in such a manner that causes the Team B player to be thrown head first into the boards. The penalty assessed shall be:

Player A1 takes a shot from the left face-off circle towards Team B’s net. The puck enters the Team B goal while A2 has his/her skate slightly inside the far edge of the goal crease. A2’s skate has no bearing on the play and didn’t interfere with the goalkeeper. The goalkeeper is located in the crease on the play. The proper ruling is:

A1 is in possession and control of the puck, within the privileged area of the Team B goalkeeper. The Team B goalkeeper skates out of the crease and legally body checks A1. The referee should
