*A major penalty is a five-minute time penalty. Any player assessed a Major penalty will also be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty.
-
Any player, goaltender or team official who is assessed a Major penalty will also be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty, will be ordered to the dressing room for the remainder of the game and will be reported to the appropriate Member or league for further action. The Coach of the penalized team, through the Captain, will designate any player on the ice at the time of the infraction to serve the penalty.
**A Misconduct penalty is a non-time penalty that does not result in the offending team playing shorthanded. The offending player will be removed from the ice for a period of 10 minutes of playing time.
-
A player, except a goaltender, who is assessed a Misconduct penalty will be removed from the ice for a period of 10 minutes actual playing time. A substitute for the penalized player will be permitted immediately. A player serving a Misconduct penalty will remain in the Penalty Bench until the first stoppage of play following the expiry of their penalty.
-
When a player is assessed a Minor and a Misconduct penalty, the penalized team will immediately place a substitute player on the bench to serve the Minor penalty. The Misconduct penalty will commence on the termination of the Minor penalty.
-
Any player who is assessed a second Misconduct penalty in the same game will automatically be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty.
